In that situation, I might choose to raise the capital and build the project, or possibly flip it to another developer if I can't raise the funds myself.

Please share any tips on what to look out for when hiring a contractor for renovations to a property you are looking to flip.

We want to purchase a home in the near future (maybe March) but I'm thinking I could try hard money for my first flip.

HelloI have a small start up construction company that will be flipping homes in the Will county area of Illinois.

We meet on site at one of my projects in the hottest areas of LA (development/flip properties).Looking forward to connecting with you.

All my experience has been from helping my father flip houses, and we have recently purchased a HUD property and are looking forward to renovating it. 

I'm not too familiar with buy and hold yet but I do currently flip homes in LA and Orange Counties if you have any questions. 

Course there is a flip side to this which is that frankly if you follow the market I think its clear that the "crowd" really likes debt investments despite what one could argue if the greater risk of these investments lately.

Hello everyone,  Paul Brodeur here, just wanted to introduce myself here on Bigger pockets, I am from north Grosvenor dale Connecticut which borders central Massachusetts,  I am fairly new to real estate investing but it  has become my passion ,  I have been listening to the BP podcasts and have learned so much from them , I have owned a few rental properties in the past but had no idea what I was doing to be honest, I made a lot of mistakes and wish I would have found a place like BP back then , currently I am concentrating on finding fix and flips and wholesale deals in my northeast Connecticut and central Massachusetts areas, I am looking to learn and network and build great business relationships , thank you for looking at my post 

I am looking to start off doing some wholesale deals, and eventually fix and flips as well as buy and holds.
