I work in wholesale in Indianapolis and still struggled to find deals that would even be close.

This includes all structural drawings, exterior drawings, framing plan, mechanical plans, plumbing plans, electrical plans, gas line plans, roof layout plan.I tried to work with a couple of firms and the pricing for all these came all over the places.I also came across a company called flip16.com (September Development, LLC)  who said they can do all of the civil engineering and architectural drawings work at a fraction of the price compared to those civil engineering and architectural firms.

When I got started with real estate 9 years ago, I was living and working in and around Boston.

My question is: who did you work with there?

I personally like the BRRRR strategy - it's not easy to pull off but it's simple and it works in theory. 

comps are what determine ARV.and for a BRRRR to work you need a fairly distressed property. 

As a contractor I had to work for money, be at the mercy of the customer, jobs and timelines never seemed to go as planned, only to pay tax on the money I worked for.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

It really makes a difference when you use pros that specialize in REI and how they can help your money work for you. 

@Cyndi Lees the thing that catches my eye in your post is that it would require quite a bit of work to get it started as a rental.
