I could buy a property with less than ideal tenants and hopefully improve that situation as a value-add.

I joined Bigger Pockets yesterday after watching a ton of their videos on YouTube.

Owner added $80-120k in improvement.

Look up Mark Kohler on Youtube and do a search through his videos for this topic.

But both require knowledge about building rehab, improvement, and maintenance. 

I think people improving housing can really start to change areas here.

If you want to find Lenders to provide capital to Investors for the purposes of acquiring, improving and reselling real estate (SFRs, MFRs, Commercial), visit these websites:https://www.scotsmanguide.com/Residential/LenderSe...https://privatelenderlink.com/Both websites allow you to search for local lenders in your Cities / States.Most of the lenders there will more than likely approve 80-85% Purchase + 100% Rehab CostsTypical costs right now are ~10% Interest and ~2 points1-year term, interest-only, no pre-payment penalty.

I'm looking to expand my real estate business, improve my cash flow, move equity into larger property purchases, and execute more advanced strategies. 

I’ve watched several videos on YouTube and many articles online as well.

Caution:Contracting for repair, maintenance, remodeling, or improvement by any person licensed under part I of chapter 475 (real estate agent) while acting as the owner’s agent pursuant to that license, where all work requiring a contractor is performed by a contractor who has a current, valid certificate or registration issued under this part to perform such work, and where the aggregate contract for labor, materials, and all other items is less than $5,000; however, this exemption does not apply: (a) If the maintenance, repair, remodeling, or improvement is a part of a larger or major operation, whether undertaken by the same or a different contractor, or in which a division of the operation is made in contracts of amounts less than $5,000 for the purpose of evading this part or otherwise.For the sake of your cousin's license, either make her a part owner (sharing the gross profit as her compensation) or get a GC on the job asap.Just a helpful hint to keep a fellow real estate agent out of jail.
