It'll be a bit riskier than buying something already renovated, but if you have the right team and numbers in place you could pick up some more equity on day 1, have less money out of pocket, and have something that produces some cash flow. 

If you're looking for cash flow, I personally suggest checking Columbus because you can definitely find cash flowing deals here that meet the 1% rule and at affordable prices starting at $120k to $180k.

Told this story here before, we bought a property where the seller had been in a bar fight and had a judgement for medical injuries from the other person in the bar fight. 

And it doesn't matter if it is owned in your personal name or LLC.You may find some benefits to having a real estate license when buying/selling, but you'll also introduce some new problems.

I recoup my insurance i front and my fee.. the fee is all in points and interest there is no monthly payment is all on accrual.. this allows this client to do 3 to 5 deals a month with me. this was a good one they are not all 50k profits but most are 15 to 35k each all with ZERO money out other than EMD which is negligable like 500.00 bucks and utls.. this is how you use a capital partner to scale.. 

Prior to understanding how to cashflow, I made to real estate investments simply because I didn't want my money sitting in the back. 

I'm in Orlando and have a couple great contacts here that I personally use, not sure if they can operate in Delaware, but happy to provide their info.

Great info to have and I'm glad you were able to validate that the first person was the right fit!

Since you're moving in soon, having face-to-face conversations can establish a personal connection and show your commitment to fair and clear communication. 

Personally, I don't believe there are any "investment-minded brokerages", so what is it that you are actually hoping to get out of your brokerage and life as an agent?
