When financing a large-scale fix-and-flip project, assessing and managing risk is crucial for success.Risk Management StrategiesContingency Budgeting:Set aside a contingency fund (typically 10-20% of renovation costs) for unexpected expenses.Time Management:Develop a detailed project timeline to keep renovations on track and avoid extended holding costs.Partnerships:Collaborate with experienced contractors and real estate agents to mitigate risks associated with repairs and market positioning.Insurance:Obtain comprehensive insurance coverage, including builder’s risk insurance and general liability insurance, to protect against unforeseen events.Exit Strategy:Always have an exit strategy.

It seems like a great opportunity, but as someone based in DC, I don’t know much about Salisbury.I see that it's fairly close to a hospital, which could be good for medium-term rentals (MTR), and it's also near a university, which might attract long-term renters.For those with experience in this market, I’d appreciate your thoughts!

Should I get into contracting with a flipper or custoM home builder for 50k a year 1099 and start my own llc and be a “real estate professional” and learn the ins and outs while making less money at first,  or take a sales job 9-5 that makes 150k a year w2 and build up capital first. 

With your design experience you definitely have a leg up to flip, but the Asheville market is pretty steamy hot.

I'm under contract to buy a 6-plex at around 60%-65% of its actual market value.

I’m Daja from Detroit, and I’m new to real estate investing.

I come home look to see if it's on market then send letter to PR (personal rep) Exuctor/trix.

Welcome to BP - have you nailed down the specific individual towns/markets for the Poconos yet or are you still casting a wide net?

Many thanks in advance,Victor Talking with my friends contractors in the area... some of this contractor offered very low price for their projects betting to build many units and market changed and they simply started to file bankruptcy... when comparing cost it's common you will find higher costs ... been in this market last few years, houses will start to move again in the next months in a normal cycle (not pandemic cycle) , if you're goal is getting long term rental in place for delay gratification...

Yup, confirming that desirable assets in desirable areas are indeed being financed in the 5s with normal bank and credit union loans for commercial real estate.
