I can come up with money for flips and have a contractor I have been talking to for the work.

My partners & I are flipping in Chattanooga so I hung out there for a couple of days, meeting my contractor and agent for the first time; of course I went by and took at our flip. 

This allows me to streamline operations while tapping into an infrastructure that includes contractor networks, tenant management systems, and local expertise.Scaling Through FlipsNext year, I plan to launch a direct mail campaign targeting off-market deals, aiming to complete 15 flips.

If it's above 700 or 720, I wouldn't worry about it too much (though credit scores are dynamic and change over time, especially with RE developers).

Finding an agent, finding contractors, overseeing repairs, finding a property manager, finding tenants, etc.

And if they are a hobbyist/part-time builder, then they should engage the proper professionals, i.e. a title officer, civil engineer, architect, contractor et al to assist in reviewing the project's feasibility.

If I am the contractor I get my % of rehab costs.

Build a team with local contractors and use property management software.

A good property manager who knows Memphis well, a reliable contractor, and an experienced agent who specializes in investment properties will be key.
