I have offered to help on projects since I have some skills in trades, but people don't want someone that can only show up for a few hours a day. 

The house building experience taught me a lot about working with contractors, negotiating, and project management that I would later use in my real estate investing.When we closed on the mortgage for our new house, we had the house appraised and we were shocked when house appraised at over $150,000 more that we had invested into the house.

I'm just about to start my first house hack duplex rehab project here are ideas I'm considering:-high efficiency toilet system-ceiling fans in bedrooms and main rooms-electronic keypad door locks-programmable thermostat-programmable electric bathroom baseboard heater

Also, adjacent to the Edgewick condo community, new construction project.

Also, a HML will not give you funds to purchase materials to get the project started.

I have a project in WG that I am negotiating and will need a GC. 

@Matt Shields I think if your plan is using the MLS, foreclosure lists, and other easily accesible means of finding deals then yes your going to struggle find projects that give you the margins you want.

Home Depot offers project loans up to $50,000 (I think) at 8% interest. 

BRRRR isn't the best for a newbie either (at least not a large project) which is why I suggested house hacking FHA won't let you buy anything too terrible and in a worst case scenario you at least have a rental unit and a place to live even if it doesn't offer the best financial return.

Once I get my current project closed and rehab started (not in Corpus) I will reach out.
