I am a bit ... how do you say ... neurotic ... retentive ... perfectionist, I have to know everything before I venture into actually doing something.

You can look into subject to deals, owner financing, lease options, joint venture partners, etc.

We all have other "stuff" going on and between us, we also have some Internet Web Site projects going on which pretty much take care of themselves.We are all pretty smart people and we are looking at property flips like any other business venture... do it right, get in fast, use good people, provide a quality finished product, make our money and move on to the next one.

It's been good and if I ever decide to venture into rehabbing I will tape the progress myself and send it to you my friend!

It would be worth the time and money to find a local attorney who specializes in joint venture arrangements.This way the paperwork and protections will be in place for both parties.A deal always sounds encouraging in the beginning but can later fall apart.

I learned a lot but it wasn't until I joined BiggerPockets and actually started to meet and connect with others that I made real progress.And by progress I mean forming a joint venture with Ben and fellow BP members @Kelly L. and @Maxwell Lee last year and closing on my first buy and hold rental property in Jacksonville, Florida at the end of 2014.

Being my first venture into buy and hold, I'm looking for something that needs as little rehab work as possible.

However most Danes does not want a DIY project.
