Quote from @Sherica Chambers: Hi Geoffrey,I recently expanded into the Ohio market and am actively marketing to sellers in the area.

Blake, I am a Waco local, have worked as a project estimator for Belfor property restoration, remodeled homes in Waco, and have local insight to great General Contractors as well as specific tradespeople. 

May want to try a local hard money lender.

Hey all,Any local agents or members in the area that can give insight of Fairfax county as a whole or specifically Oakton area as a MTR play?

However, Flipping is an operating business which will be a schedule C activity.

Anyway, I partnered with someone from my REIA on 2 flips and now I'm actively touring several properties a week to buy my family a rehab-fixer upper that we can live in as well as rent out part of it.

He has helped me a ton on better understanding our local markets and returns.

I’m a local investor in CO Springs as well.

I would recommend choosing someone with the most forum posts and/or reviews that way you know that person is active
