I'll keep people updated about the outcome of this investment.Regardless of the outcome: I won't invest with FTF again and can't recommend it!

I wouldn't look at fix and flip for 100+ year old properties I'd recommend urban infill new construction much more control less stressful more advanced more value easier exit, etc etc 

As for Market knowledge where would you recommend using as a search engine?

See post Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

We are hoping to get some recommendations on local hard money lenders and GC’s to reach out to while we get started.

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend seeking opportunities to negotiate a rate buydown at a seller’s expense or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?

Does anyone have any recommendations on PML's? 

Can anyone recommend some good local investment groups that gather on a regular basis in my area?

I would recommend using a website that is already set up.

My realtor gave us a recommendation, but it is just management company affiliated with her agency.Do folks here have recommendations on companies?
