I also tell people the following:-If we have another crash like 2008, we have far bigger problems than you finding a deal.

I'm excited to get started on this project and I'm confident that I can do a successful flip with the right team of people around me.

Still chase people down on their $50 portion but id rather chase them on $50 v $800 for full rent.

Hey @Anita Zuniga, take some time and hit up AirBNB and VRBO and see what is renting in the area.

Start by learning a lot, meeting people, looking over deals, and choosing a keen spot.

You can either hit the report button or email support @ biggerpockets.com, can't figure out an easier way! 

People tend to think a cost seg is a cure all and just puts money in your pocket.

I have convinced a few people locally that we may be able to find some good leads and we are actively in the process of trying to find them. 

I know a lot of people say there are insurance issues and the tenant can sue for things if it's not permitted but if I was the one occupying it and renting out the main house would that be better? 

I buy materials from specific distributors, good product, warranty, net billing etc.I think using a reputable general contractor is best for most people, volume of flips is generally the focus (plus margins) Christian's comment said it best.
