I have been down the quantity road and without massive experience and capital you should go slow and eventually you will be well beyond 100 units a year if you keep at it.

Not sure if there are minimum orders or quantities.

Current objectives are to learn, absorb knowledge, and network in the hopes of jumping into this and giving it a "go."

The beautiful thing about real estate is there are always multiple options or solutions to an objective or issue.

BP is great for general investing, but there's a lot of "shiny objects" that can be distracting.

My main objective is to acquire the property so that that i can pull money out of that house and invest in two other properties.  

However, its not the worst idea in the world...you could always get out on loan objection if your buyer falls through.

They usually need payments from ongoing work to buy materials for the job they just won.The best way to handle payments with them is to set up a schedule of regular payments, triggered by objective milestones, and to hold back 5-10% in retainage until after the work is complete and approved.For example, if you are doing a roof for $24,000.$6000 @ demo (less 5% - $300)$6000 when roof material is delivered to the home (less 5%)$6000 when tiles are on the home (less 5%)$6000 when roof passes final inspection (less 5%)$1200 in retainage paid to the contractor once owner signs off that work is 100% complete (site is clean, no driveway stains, no stains on home, etc.).Granted this is a rough outline and your negotiation will vary, but you need to always stay just a little behind in them to motivate them to finish your work before running off to the next paying customer.Good Luck,Bob

It does make sense to hone in on one thing; I get shiny object syndrome sometimes.Thanks for the feedback!

My best advice to you is to keep it simple, ignore the shiny objects syndrome and the over analysis/paralysis syndrome.
