I am growing my personal portfolio and my management portfolio but not actively seeking arbitrage deals. 

So, why would you want to enter such a deal as a seller?

It might be a good idea to bring your contractor with you to look at the property and get a quote to fix it to your standards so you know what you are dealing with before you buy it.

I personally recommend looking into out of state investing in a market like Columbus OH for cash flowing deals that hit the 1% rule and have lots of appreciation due to the great macroeconomics - population growth, job growth, and major companies developing here (Meta, Intel, Amazon, Google, etc.).

I am based out of Los Angeles and I’m working on a long distance BRRRR deal in the hilltop area of Columbus, OH.

You focus on finding deals and let your team do the work in their specialties.For flippers I think your #1 job and #1 relentless focus should be finding deals   

Had a pretty good experience in their "Challenge" ($7K) program that deals only with single-family investing.However, later that year, we upgraded (in theory, and in dues) to their "Preferred" (or "PIG") membership, so that we could invest (passively) in multifamily deals. 

They need your dead leads when you can not get the deal w/I your margins.  

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

being new, the further away you are from the deals, the greater chance of something happening and you not being able to handle it correctly.
