By and large, we plan to pay cash for homes we are flipping.We plan to flip and would like to aggressively pick up rentals.There is no shortage of opportunities in this area (MD). 40% of positive cash flow comes out of the business for growth. 60% stays in.There is an extensive business plan (mostly written).We need to find an accountant and lawyer, and plan to do so in the coming two weeks.We have an extremely successful broker who should be able to put us into contact with hard money, private, and portfolio lenders if we ever were to need one.My questions: I would love information on how to grow the rental side.
