@Nathan Gesner  is on point yet again, start with your basic estate plan first just like he did. 

There are a lot of groups out there that basically want you to pay them to find the mentor deals, so he can take a slice of your deals. 

How they communicate from day 1 will be a projection of your experience together.

However, the process was extremely cumbersome, communication was inefficient, and the loan fees were inflated compared to other deals I have seen from fellow investors.We will be ready to begin the refinance stage of our next project in the coming days, as renovation is finishing up and we are screening tenants.

I am training our son to basically do the rehabs but there is a learning curve.  

Quote from @Jason Hatfield: @Jaycee Greene  they require a non refundable deposit and give 48hrs to see proof of funds I would suggest developing a relationship with an HML/PML that would give you a "guidance line" that would basically be a "pre-approval" for situations like this to present to the buyer/auction company.

I recently watched a video where Troy Kearns mentioned he could source a high-quality quartz slab for $100 from China, which got me thinking about exploring similar options.Has anyone here ever imported materials like hardwood floors, countertops, or tiles from China for a project?

It could very well be its all lost but seems like a big jump to conclusions by investors that basically did very high interest rate investing and expected  CD like performance..

And how much rehab ($ amount or $ of PP) are you comfortable with in your projects?
