It doesn't make any difference how many books you read or podcasts you listen to, you'll still make mistakes... but it's better to make mistakes on a smaller project that you can learn from and then use those mistakes to be more successful on your next larger deal vs starting out with an apartment building where the mistakes could potentially bankrupt you. 

We have a remodel project we're working on and wouldn't mind your remodeling advice in exchange for investment/landlording advice!

If the purchase price plus renovation fits the lender's LTV criteria, many private lenders will consider funding the entire project.

There is a massive amount of other things that I have in mind that are all connected to this real estate investing adventure, but for now I need a flow of income to get the first steps started.

I am from NJ so wanted to know if any local Pittsburgh investors know of any GC that would be able to run a project from the foundation up.

It's best to see if it's a project you can handle.

Some people build it for cheap, it all depends on how you manage a project.

@Duriel Taylor You've got the plan and projections together. 

Not really in "the trenches" at the moment, but I will say that their seems to be a lot of multi-family projects under construction.
