Was filled with stuff and needed significant cleaning and remodel/repairs.

The flipper went too cheap in remodeling.

I am looking for referrals for a general contractor for a whole house remodel in the SoBro area.

Plan on buying using an FHA loan with 3.5% down, remodeling, living in the place for a year, then refinancing to repeat the process over again next year.I found a duplex in Portland that is currently for sale and been on the market for a little over a month for just over $500,000.

Current Living in the remodel.

They mainly do remodels.

I am looking for handyman to work on - minor electrical/plumbing/bath and kitchen remodel/painting/ installations work.

He had an appraisal of the property done in 2004 after he remodeled the building and the income approach value was 330k and the market value ended up being 380k.

So far, I know:- find a good deal, with opportunity to add value- assemble a deal package showing numbers (current state, remodel, after remodel, returns before and after refi)- for the first deal or several I will have to accept I won’t be able to take as large of a portion of equity as I’m a large risk for investors- attend meetups feverishly- be active on forumsWhile this all seems intuitive, I have a mental road block preventing me from accepting that I will be able to raise funds.
