For one agreed upon price, the builder will buy the land, prepare the land, build the house, insure the project themselves, and then once finished, turn the house over to me once I've paid off the balance.The question for anyone out there with some experience doing this in MN, which builders offer the best value and are the most reliable?

They want to engage with people that are ready to start (and pay) for a project.

You could sign contracts with him that would prevent him from going around you, but then again build the relationship and there should be no reason he's not happy to pay a fee for bringing him the property.Also, keep in mind your fee doesn't have to be huge, or even proportional to the size of the project.

Would love to hear a little elaboration on that and what your original projection was for cash flow?

I’m using the experience more for estimation, project management, and networking purposes and plan on spending most of my time deal making.

This is not my first flip so I will be managing the ready to go contractor on the project.

I'd love to connect with anyone looking for help on a project or be willing to talk about their business.

Hope to work with you on a project in the near future. 

I am about to start a new rehab project and was thinking about adding some sort of security system in it to monitor who is coming in and out of the house and overall security.
