Good morning “Upstate” crew,I originally posted this in the wrong thread (I think) so I’m reposting this in the Upstate NY group to better target the Binghamton area. I know Binghamton is considered the southern tier ...

It is a pure commission sale “job” where the salesman must (1) pay for his own education (2) pay for his own leads (3) front his own money to put the sale “under contract” and put up his own money to pay all related expenses.  

Upstairs currently is a mid-term rental but plan to do long-term after they move out EOY

Most of the seasoned professionals on the BP forums are service providers networking for clients (along with sharing their knowledge).

Since I am not really changing the main purpose of the property, one source told me it shouldn't apply.Lastly, do make sure you apply for an account to pay your sales (collected by Airbnb and vrbo, but not others) and Tourist Development taxes (you must collect).

My name is Brittney, my husband and I are in the process of starting our own fix and flip investment but unsure how to proceed and get our first investor, preferable a private money lender because we dont have the capital, or credit to get a loan and you have to wait at least 6 months after opening an LLC and getting a business line of credit in order to apply for a loan.

Even the cheap "cashflow" areas right now don't cashflow after real cap/ex costs, maybe on an excel sheet they do.

This presumes you make smart purchases that cash flow after paying all their expenses (Principle, interest, Taxes, Insurance, and a maintenance / Capex reserves).The risk of leverage is if your properties AREN'T making money - maybe you misjudged your income, or you run into repairs that cost more than you expected or budgeted for.  

Is my services to complex to have an effective marketing message?

If not, schedule that activity for some time later in the day/week after you've taken care of the income-producing activities that will help you grow your business.Lastly, I'd recommend reading some of the David Greene books for real estate agents in the BP bookstore as well as Hyper local Hyper fast agent by Dan Lesniak.All the best!
