I'm all about starting and getting your foot in the door, but make sure you understand the strategies that will make you succeed faster rather than just gettings pads under contract. 

Keep in mind someone comes along pretty much everyday who claims to be cheaper or offers cheaper prices on the first project to try and get their foot in the door.

2-bedroom, 1-bath, 930 square foot single family home in a small tourist town in northern WI, listed for $48,000 and assessed at $32,000, estimated FMV of $34,000. 

FYI - In that City, unless they have proof that you HAVE a code violation, it IS illegal for any of their City Employees to step foot on your property!

We took a 2 bed, 1 bath, 1,100 square foot finished home and turned it into a 3 bed, 1.75 bath, replacing all systems and finishing out the basement.

Yes, I believe we are on solid footing with them being classified as independent contractors. 

Just like marketing to sell your service as a realtor, it appears you are now striving to market a service to help homeowners claim surplus funds.I typically don't do any detailed research on investments or someones circumstances if I don't already have my foot in the door.

The footing behind the retaining wall is 18" thick minimum of steel reinforced concrete. 

@Nicholas Estevez10,000 foot view:Flipping is a job.Buy and hold is an investment.Flipping pays well due to risk, but the minute you don’t go find that next property at a discount there is no income.A buy and hold property will pay you whether or not you find that next deal.

Also, you'd want to be on sufficient financial footing to be able to carry out your investing.
