Hello, My name is Pamela Gruen and I am new to investing, looking to learn and implement no money down strategies or finding investors that can fund projects I find.

I know the state of GA implemented a law that went into effect on July 1, 2008, that required general contractors / builders to be licensed when offering their services to the general public.  

I was at a meetup in Denver where Zeona McIntyre was the guest speaker and she had some really great info about how to implement that strategies and everything in between. she also has a book with bigger pockets called the 30-Day Stay if you want to learn more. hope that helps and best of luck 🤝🍀

Great question, I would still have the same criteria of buying deals @ 75% - repairs, however instead of holding every single one, I would implement a process to make that 200k larger in order to buy a large apartment building and keep my current rentals rather than having to liquidate everything to purchase the apartment.So it would pretty much be: buy 2 rentals, do one flip and continue in this way for then next two years until I have turned that 200k into 350k.

So, the REIT is essentially implement a hybrid scheme to provide that and at the minimum it costs more than a direct investment that doesn't have this.

Real Estate wise:My number one goal is to streamline my company to run more efficiently - keep consistent records, analyze properties on an individual basis and the company as a whole, tax strategies etc Secondly I'd like to add 1-2 more properties this year - as long as the numbers work - not really pushing to add anything this year though Thirdly - come up with a strategy and implement it so that I can scale going forward.

My methods are probably more stringent than the majority of landlords as I screen without any considerations for protected classes or any other "problem tenants".

What do you do if your intent is to sell the property and your buyer asks if a licensed contractor implemented the improvements that took your $52k property up to $230k over a few months. 

Most of them are implemented to prevent people from charging homeowners upfront for services or preying on them via other unscrupulous methods.

If you implement the right strategy you can win big.
