You will need a great set of contractors, a good realtor who understands investments and a really investment friendly mortgage broker.

@Peter SawyerIf you see an expense, for example, that looks high you can run it by people here on the BP forums and ask for a local opinion; I'm always happy to help.

With fees and points and so on, their money cost me 16%, and it was a total pain to refinance to a 5% conventional mortgage.If you are going to do a deal which involves buying a house for $50k less than market price, then paying Eastside $10k to expedite the closing is totally worth it.Eastside funding are good people, and they provide excellent service. 

When looking into getting my first flip or rehab house there are all kinds of work that I am curious of and other people's experience.

It is quite frustrating for sure and there are no shortage of people who take advantage of others but, ultimately, unless there is significant money you are loosing ($25k+) from this due to their lack of disclosure, it usually isn't worth your time.

While I'm still in the early stages, I'm committed to expanding my knowledge and understanding of the many opportunities that real estate investing has to offer.

However, we found we couldn't keep doing that because some people would have 300 transactions per month (how on a rental?)

Yes, you can raise rents to market rent and people will stay.

So wish me luck 🙏 I'm excited to learn a whole lot and hopefully meet allot of people through here!

The airbnb numbers are what people surrounding this and other existing clients are getting in this zipcode for just rooms (around $130-150/night for a private room rental not necessarily an entire place).
