I will take on flips if the opportunity presents itself, but right now that world seems foreign to me and I would not be comfortable operating in the realm yet.Anyway, I am looking for some other real estate newbies to connect with to share stories, personal and professional growth with, and basically have someone on our side who is experiencing the same things.  

They also probably offset the cost of the warranty by charging a significant premium for the work they did to get this note re-performing.Their warranty also states that they can replace your note with an equivalent note so if one fails and they don't want or have the money to give you your principal back they can just give you another note and buy themselves more time.Their business is also growing at a fast pace and they are betting the growth will offset any losses(low chance of them losing though after the premium, low volume of performing notes, and ability to replace notes) and the warranty helps grow it faster.This is how their warranty makes sense to me.

There used to be 100% loans on value add deals on the purchase price but that was years and years ago.I understand you are trying to pull out 100% but banks and the committees aren't going to make an exception for you and put their jobs on the line so you can get more money in your pocket.Sounds like if you did a 1031 exchange you would get max value minus the resale and purchase cost and put the money into another value add deal or deals to grow the equity again.No legal advice.

That being said I feel the franchise route will enable me to support such a growth model without compromising customer service and quality.

Developing this skill unlocks your growth. 4) Unless you aim bigger and start with a cross functional team, you won't develop the skills in the business to grow. 5) You need 5 distinct skill sets in your team A) finding deals B) deal analysis C) raising capital D) construction and operating management E) sales and marketing.Some people say "I'm a contractor, or I'm handy so I'll start rehabbing houses".

I just personally prefer areas with a little more growth potential. 

Any help on how to most effectively and rapidly experience growth is appreciated!

The real estate is inexpensive, rents are good, good growth rate in the area, and most of all there's JOBS!

I think there is still plenty of room for more growth.

Most corporate companies are not in the real estate business.They want an accounting tax write off plus It frees cash for more growth and re-imaging of existing stores or building new ones.
