Have recently started a renovation company with a friend, both of us successful business owners and talented in the trades.

I was wondering how other people managed to start scaling their business faster. did you guys work with partners or do any deals?

Since I'm just starting, I'd appreciate any insights on:-The best ways to build trust and credibility as a beginner.

Delay gratification is powerful and it's important to start your real estate investing journey early in order to reap the long-term benefits of real estate.

If your goal is to simply take over a property that has a VA loan, you just start making the payments without bothering the lender. 

I know that this is a big risk property but I believe that it has the potential for high return if I can get all of this permitting and renovation work figured out on the front end.I'm just looking for any advice on how to cover myself on the front end prior to making an offer and how to expedite the work so that I can get renters in and start recouping on the investment as soon as possible.

Can some please help me with a game plan of where to start?
