But, it's a beautiful project, and must be very exciting to be involved in it. 

You’re probably thinking, I don’t know this person so why should I get involved… just remember that we’d both be in the same boat, we both have to trust and respect one another, but read to the end, and learn more about me.I was born and raised in San Jose, California by my beautiful, wickedly smart and fiercely independent single mother.

Flippers who show they make safety and energy effiecent changes as well as install beautiful granite, etc...and seem like nice, decent people...would probably give an appraiser the confidence to appraise on the high end of a range.

Cody is beautiful, as is Sheridan, Ten Sleep, Buffalo, etc.If you are focused strictly on flipping, I recommend researching to see which areas are growing the fastest and jump in front of that growth.

The beauty of having rental criteria and the ability to decline.

Richard, I see the most beautiful homes in Augusta, so much great architecture there.

The beauty of investing is it's not an all or nothing thing.

Now it's onto making it beautiful with new everything inside, laundry room, and curb appeal.

All my beautiful view photos are at the very end now.

That is the ONLY way you will get the highest probability of success.Now back to why I wouldn't do what you advised him to do.I said it once and I will say it again.You do not chase "success" based on what you have available.You figure out what it takes to become successful and then use what you have to get what what it takes, to become successful.If it takes $30K, 20 hours/day, and a beautiful woman smart by your side, figure out how to get these things and become successful!
