Your help is appreciated.While driving to visit my cousin I drove by a house on his street that appeared abandoned.

If so I wouldn't sweat it, maybe just deduct the cost of your visits for the estimates and research and return the rest.If your guys can't work and you're allowed to keep the deposit then use that to pay your crew and find something for them to do while you line up the next job.

@Frank HouptI start with picking an area of the country I think I would like to visit and I have direct access to either by an "easy" drive or direct flight.

I don't charge for estimates, but neither do i visit potential clients that don't have things under contract.

I have visited a few and will make sure to schedule a visit with each one over the next few weeks so I can analyze every possibility.  

Those are lenders that you know ahead of time have an appraiser that can do it.

Regarding what kind of cash-flow or ratios you need to retire and your concerns with future CapX, you should also plan ahead to have a reserve in the bank to handle the unexpected stuff.

But alas I can't change folks all I can do is get ahead of them all with what I know...

I have studied American and Latin business for a few years and American economics for almost five.I've never put out a request like this before, so if you want more information, please go right ahead and ask.

I've been working construction for quite sometime and I order reak the benefit I must invest more time into the craft and less time doing what I want to do.The reason I've chosen to pursue real estate is because I want to learn but I also want to help people get a head the same way I would like to.Some of the avenues that i would like to learn about are wholesaling, fix and flip homes,buy and hold rentals, little or no money investing.I'm excited to see where this will go and 100% execited to change my life and those around me.
