Keep in mind, risk, reward and prices have a strong correlation in REI.

@Anna Ahhee, Here's my take on it: I think blackmail in any comments here is an extraordinary strong word, let's take a look at the word..."

-Congratulations on the strong start.Depending on your property locations, I might be able to help with a couple of contractors.

The South-West is the place to be.Fundamentals have been and still are strong.

@Rick Harmon, getting licensed is definitely something that I have strongly considered doing and probably will do in the not-too-far future.

Particularly a foundation issue, that finding reported back to the seller makes it necessary for seller to disclose same to any and all future buyers.Secondly, I would strongly suggest you build a buyers list of rehabbers who are local to your market.

They don't have the man power to investigate them all without proof or strong evidence.

I am assuming since you did not mention it that you didn't go the '''syndication route".With all the talk of 'private money' and the rules surrounding it, it is always good to learn how others deal with those issues.I am JUST starting to talk to potential lenders about doing private lending, and I the feeling I get is there might be a strong possibility that a few of them would be open to the partnering together on a larger project, which in all honesty was NOT even on my radar.

We have a great market with strong prices and appreciation and high rents.
