You might find that once you find the property, you might become really adept really fast at developing a team versus planning all of it out.

You may want to have her add you to a couple of cards.Make sure that the cards are not maxed out and do not carry too "High of a balance versus credit limit" rule of thumb is try to keep balances under 40% of your credit limit.

Second, how do you split the time across the cities you live in versus the Baltimore market if you fly in?

Compare the difference you would get in rent versus the cost to do the renovation.

Versus new construction from a builder....probably not.

How much is the contractor going to be doing versus your own sweat equity? 

It will not allow extract of all the sweat equity due to LTV not being 100% (typically 70% refi LTV), but I question with the tax deferred (my plan is deferred forever) versus paying tax on the flip profits, if the extraction of seat equity of a good BRRRR does not exceed the flip extraction of equity after the taxes are paid (this will depend on both how good the BRRRR is and what your tax bracket is).You would seem likely to have the skills and contacts to be able to excel at BRRRR investments.
