(I opened the Florida markets and ultimately was responsible to buy/rehab/lease/manage over 12000 single family homes which we bought 1 at a time from Q2 2012 to Q4 2014)  Lucky me, I can say I have signed more individual closing packages than anyone in Florida history... that and $5 still only buys me a cup of coffee at StarBucks!

Since I just purchased a home in GA, I don't have much capital available, but could possibly do up to 20k down on a buy and hold but I would rather keep my funds and look into hard money lenders or distressed properties that I could buy cash and sit on and do most of the rehab myself.

Now that I have begun researching real estate investing, my interest in home rehabbing has only grown and I could say Im willing to leave the safety of my welding job in order to gain the skills and knowledge of the contractor field.  

Hey folks,Just got my track search back for a property tomorrow and found:---Recapture Agreement recorded (date) as document(number) made by (person) to Illinois Housing Development Authority, to secure a note in the originally stated principal amount of $25,000.00, and to the terms and conditions thereof.All I can find about a Recapture Agreement is that it is a 0% loan given to certain people from the government for rehab.  

Need help finding Hard Money - to fund the Purchase and Rehab. 

@Tyler DeuelI have used Al Mendillo from Home Inspections LLC on several occasions alreadyI found him to be very helpful and thorough.If you are still looking, message me and I'll send you his email address.

I look for appreciation in value by buying at a discount, either through finding good deals or by forcing it through rehab and renovation.

I've recently gotten involved with residential flips and rehabs, and am looking for recommendations for construction project managers based out of Portland.

That, or the questions will be already addressed on another forum.In an effort to get back to some information that might help you make the decision that you are faced with now.

I don't know about you, but I don't have $40k+ laying around to rehab a house if it were to have been flooded to the rafters.
