If you feel bad and want to save people money, start with a free pre-screening.

I think you should start by understanding what it is your investors want out of the deal, analyze how the returns compare to traditional investments, and then see where you fit into this deal. 

Whether your at $0 or $10mm of personal cash to start with.   

I have a portfolio of SFR out of state, but I am looking to start doing some deals on LI and want to build my network up here.

Talking with my partner, we started to talk think through worst case scenarios & options we’d have if it doesn’t get rented in several months. 

Build out the network for GCs in your area and start to bid jobs, then you can build out how much each job would cost.

It's good that you have two ideas to start with.

Start with the end in mind --- what would be the investor's exit strategy for this home? 

new investor but ready to get started would love to connect with other investors in the Dallas market hard money lenders and wholesalers 

So I am starting the loan process over again, for the third time.
