My husband and I are looking to do our first flip and I'm starting to search around for some hard money lenders in the area.

I own a small real estate brokerage in CO and I'm also looking to start a mortgage company or at least having some staff members licensed as loan officers. 

If you wait 30 years to start budgeting for a roof, the house will rot into the ground from leaks before you have accumulated enough to replace it.

The ultimate goal is to start scaling and eventually would expand into another state such as South Carolina for short term rentals. 

Would be a great achievement if it works - I would also reach out to the railroad track company to ensure there won't be any disruptions or issues they may have when/if you start the development process. 

If you can, then $30k will be more than enough to start in Dayton, Ohio.

Hello BiggerPockets Community,I'm new to the world of real estate investing and am looking to start my first LLC to better manage my properties and protect my personal assets.

Talk to realtors or others in the area who have their own reputation to protect.I have also often used large trade specific contractors like Michael and Sons here in Richmond.

Hello Matthew, congrats on your house hack, that’s a huge start to building wealth!

Can we start building bridges, roads, electric infrastructure, high-speed rail, and large impressive buildings in this country again?
