My plan was to purchase a lot and build a foundation, bring in a doublewide/manufactured house. have it placed on foundation and have a structural engineer reclassify it as fixed real estate. then, I would refinance. 

Finding something you fix up is also a possibility but for a first deal I would not recommend. 

The other PM can be a fix-mindset type of person where they are not willing to share anything unless you have a property and are willing to sign a PM agreement in the same conversation. 

@Jordyn Ohs Suggest you run a financial model and assume 100% vacancy.

The fix/flip might be a good way to get such a relationship started: usually has lower cash out of pocket requirements and you can sell the property faster to recoup the capital invested, plus any profits.

I did 2 fix flips last year. 

🏡 Hello, would love to hear from you, just bought a property and starting demo to do a fix/flip, but I'm really not good with choosing tiles, fixture and colors, can you help me?

I look at real estate as fixed income with the goal of 50/50 fixed income (real estate) vs. index funds.

Great to know that if I find something worth fixing up that I now have a GC to connect with.

I have been analyzing fix and flip opportunities in NYC and CT as my next venture.
