If you are soliciting unknown people you need to look at syndicating and learning about that first.Any promotional materials you would need to read Bigger Pockets rules and learn about becoming a paid member and posting in the marketplace section.Thanks

So you would need money for labor and materials, then the HML inspects the work, then you get reimbursed.  

Some consideration for cats... a place for the litter box with good ventilation, window coverings that are not prone to damage (avoid blinds with strings that dangle and slats that bend easily).  

He also recommends that businesses build up with all cash, often taking a deposit on a sale if materials are needed in the startup phases. 

So stay on top of material and labor costs, even if you have to micromanage a bit more than you'd like.If you put it on the market with a roof that didn't need replacing immediately, but was old, you may not have received the purchase price you will receive with a new roof.

A book could be written as to the structures as you have many options, they can buy and finance and you contract, you buy and sell turn key, you can get the seller involved, do the work for them and flip the contract to an end buyer, partner with the owner and sell turn key, arrangements are endless.To structure it, you'll need to consider the buyer's position and ability to buy, they will be getting the end loan.Really boils down to financing, who gets the construction financing, does title need to pass  to do the work, where do you put your profit, again, the end buyer's ability to finance.You'd be selling from plans and specs, yes, you need a good down payment if the buyer is picking appliance, colors, materials as what they may select may not be as marketable if the fall out of the deal, you're stuck with pink bedrooms, green carpet, crappy ceiling fans and hickory cabinets.

My last turnover cost $126.21 for materials (2012) and the turnover before that cost $167.82 in materials (2011).

I'll need to decipher what a good list to purchase is, in the mean time I'll be creating my yellow letters / buying my materials!

You need to decide what niche of real estate investing appeals to you or multiple ones and then find highly successful people in that field.Some have written books and others have not and have it all in their head and you have to hang around them locally to get access.I typically never find any books at a book store with real estate as they are new to middle grade material and I know all of that info.

I guess your "...get back together next week..." comment materialized Donald.
