The number one mistake that I saw buyers making was jumping right into negotiating (and not very good negotiating at that) without first spending the time to build rapport.

but if i go in a LLC with them i get hit with the tax from the sale of the homeThe GC and the flipper were just going to split the profits from the sale of the home and they were going to pay me 2%/12% for the duration of the build. 

@Juan Perez Turning your primary residence into a rental is a great way to build your investment portfolio.

I wasn’t handed a blueprint for success—I had to build my own, piece by piece.Right now, I’m navigating real estate while under pressure and recent setbacks .

I’m able to pay cash for some houses occasionally when my savings builds up.

Investors should:✔ Monitor Blackstone’s acquisitions – Are they buying more apartment buildings, warehouses, or single-family rentals?

This can encourage positive word-of-mouth and build goodwill if they’re ever a reference for your property.Ultimately, focus on fairness and clear documentation.

For me it’s building connections with buyers in a new market. 

And the chef in the food cart in front of the House Building was let go.

My main goal is to build good fundamental knowledge so any and all help is appreciated!
