@Joshua Johnson With the hard money lender charging you anywhere from 12% to 14% on loaned funds, flipping is hardly a 'hobby' or 'fun'; its an extremely risky venture with very little or no margin for error. 

If not then you need to find partners either through an equity provider, a syndicate, or a joint venture.  

joint ventures?

Andy,As long as you aren't installing hurricane impact rated windows or need windows with leak resistance above 60mph winds, any standard window with DIY installation should work well for you.

Hey Everyone,I'm Atlanta based just venturing in to Real Estate investment and looking to purchase my first property.I'm seeing a lot of inventory on auction.com, wondering if anyone has had any luck buying there, if there's anything I need to look out for and what's your experience been like.If you have any recommendations on title experts please send over and I'm looking to connect with any local wholesalers and investors that may have something.I'm currently looking for a single family or multi(2-4) in Cobb, Fulton and Dekalb County focused on Smyrna, Sandy Springs, Marietta, North Atlanta,  trying to stay close or within ITP but open to other areas close to Atlanta.I appreciate your help!

I wouldn't advise a DIY contract in CA if you are out of state and using a property manager they should already have a lease they use

I could do a lot more if I wanted to venture into some of the C and D neighborhoods in Cincy but I will wait to find that diamond in the rough closer to home in a b to b+ neighborhood.

The real problem is we do not have the next venture lined up. 

(But, very successful ;-)1) Make offers2) Team up with someone on a partnership & Joint Venture.3) See number 1 and repeat

to do a joint venture/ partnership together you first need to seat and discuss the goals, the strategy and the “what if “ , exit strategy, the split, the financial contribution.
