It might be like a one-stop shop, but it's best to just buy the asset and set all the other stuff yourself.

I thought about working for Sam's/BJ's/Costco's stopping people as they exit the store to set up an appointment for people that want to remodel their home or install hurricane windows just so I can say hey by the way im an RE agent.

In the interim, what would you pay your family for the borrowed money?

Here's where it gets odd.Jack wants me to be the sole borrower on the property, on our joint project.Jack wants me to not tell the bank about my source of rehab funds because it'll "complicate things with the bank"The bank has capped my borrowing limit at $250,000, which is above the necessary $295,000 to do the deal.As a workaround, Jack will be the sole provider of rehab funds (personal funds, cash)Jack wants me to give him one of my personal checks so he can write future offers.Is this a strategic way to expedite the rehab-lending process?

You won't be able to borrow more than the maximum LTV the lender requires.With a refi, it is possible to do a "cash out" refi and get some cash as part of the transaction. 

My totally uneducated theory and please poke holes in it, is that rents will gradually stop growing and/or decrease as developments  reach the lease up phase.

Hello everyone, Its time for me to stop being lazy and go make deals.

Hello Heidi,I would suggest stopping by your local Sherwin Williams or PPG.

Before purchase I stopped at the recording office to look at the records and I should be in the clear. 

Next stop is your city zoning office.That it already has a meter bodes well for your chances.
