@Dominique Mickles Even if you were to find a loan given your situation that you outlined, you want more than $3k in savings before seriously executing any real estate investing strategy.

My contracts specify that I have the right to have the property go through a number of inspections, and that my obligation to execute is contingent on the results of those inspections. 

@Bob Malecki we've had a combination of i) poor communication, ii) crazy billing (we once had a 45 min charge for reading and replying to a single email - 3 questions that we had explicitly instructed and worded for yes / no answers) iii) lying about who was performing work and what work was performed (they were job shopping our work to an out of state attorney) and iv) poor performance (weeks to subcontract and execute service).

Then you have to execute the two contracts at the same time.

ARV: 280 est. 25k repairs. what is the best way to execute this deal in the amount of time i have, and what is the best way to maximize this deal as well?

Hey everyone,We've created an interesting deal and I was wondering if anyone else has executed anything like it...We recently bought and rehabbed a house (we'll call it "Walnut") for about $70k.

You should request an IRS Form W-9 from all independent contractors you hire.A best practice is to consider an executed W-9 part of a complete contract. 

I like the idea just not sure on the execution.

(Caveat: some of our investors have some experience and would contribute in a consultative hands-off way)Candidly, we think the hard part of this development is over and now it is a matter of executing an already developed plan.

If you execute well, it will be much more profitable as well.Midwest rentals are going to be more passive.
