@Jim Jones, if you cost seg and then just sell. 

Last month, we had a successful local agent who got his start through REIA, Jim Hadden, come share his story and talk about where he sees the market moving over the next few years.

@Jim KalishWe have bad the same experience with people thinking that since we are private owners vs. property management company that we will be more willing to overlook bad credit, prior eviction or criminal background.

@Jim Wellington my favorite thing is when agents talk about "you can definitely raise the rents" and I innocently ask "oh great!

Thanks @Michael Leeand @Jim CummingsThe issues you have each brought up include:Harder to get a loan for new constructionEasier to get partners for flippingNew construction may be in an unproven areaMore work involved with new constructionGreater possibility of unexpected expenses in flips, compared to new construction.How would each of you compare the risks and financial return of flipping vs. building new construction?

Thanks @Jim Wellington yes I've been doing that and checking on the states estimate site as well.

@Jim Groves: I see that you are knowledgeable in this area, but your website does not include PR.

@Jim Kennedy @Loren Clive @Mike Cumbie @William Lewis @Keith Nelson thank you. 

Quote from @Jim Piety: I purchased a fixer upper through a wholesaler in March 2021.

I was a self represented agent, we worked with Jim Beam with the Triangle Lending Group and HIGHLY recommend him.
