In Ohio we just consider wholesaling brokering real estate.

I grew up in the real estate industry watching my father raise money with a PPM for large multifamily value add projects and a developments.

If you opt for the live in flip like I mentioned above it will probably not make sense to do a refi for such a short period.Hope this helps you some.

I have bought and sold several properties across Chicago and Barrington area over the past seven years, and was a real estate agent for 2 years in my early twenties.

Starting with a smaller property or a few fix-and-flip projects can help you build equity, gain credibility with lenders, and better understand the process before scaling up.Securing funding for larger projects can be challenging without prior experience, but options like hard money loans might be worth exploring.

Have you started going to in-person real estate investing meetups yet? 

I have not done any flips yet. 

Leveraging business credit for a real estate deal, especially if that credit is only interest-free for a short window, isn’t automatically a bad idea…but it’s definitely not for everyone.

Nice thought but not reality by a MILE.. real estate is full of dreamers..

That is why I believe IMO that opendoor (old zillow flipping homes model) does not work.
