My husband is a contractor which gives us a leg up in flipping, but we are also curious about diversifying and buying rentals.

Good way to build a list of commercial firms in that area that have some deal flow. 

A client can close on a new property with us in less than 45 days so no long closing or pre construction risk anymore with our program.

Simply put, we start off with the As Repaired/Completed Value (ARV), then subtract from that number a reasonable profit, the rehab cost (scope of work), which we've gotten good at, a contingency reserve for any "unexpecteds", our cost of capital/carrying costs (interest and costs of the leverage used), and our costs/fees on the buy and sell sides of a flip.

Then you’re going to ask her to give you a 3 year 0% loan?

Did you do a variance analysis for this new build?
