I'm doing most of the leg-work in the underwriting process where he will be putting up the funds for the purchase.

You can team up with an agent to pull information for you or send the addresses in excel to a virtual assistant and let them do some leg work for you at a minimal cost.

If you are a blank slate, you will need to have something tangible - preferably something that will still have legs if you mess-up a little - before folks will commit capital.A slightly alternate approach would be to find someone with that track record and convince them to take you along on a 2 - 3 deals giving you a chance to learn the details and build a portfolio of deal history.

I don't forecast perfect econ vacancy and I don't sit on the edge of cliffs dangling my legs off the side. 

I hope to one day make enough cash flow to step out from behind the chair and start focusing on beautifying homes instead of clients.Cheers to a lifetime of learning and meeting new people along the way, -Jessie

When they do, your customers will be more than happy for you to make good money off of a deal.You can learn almost all of the theory behind this here on BP but you're still going to have to put in the leg work.You do not need a Guru to go look at so many houses that you start understanding value, cost, what run down looks like, what rehabbed looks like and what the difference in price is and needs to be.Good luck

The script also has to be easily customizable with out costing an arm and a leg.
