I tried using my Oregon architect for a new build in Charleston and it was just too much trouble.. even though he was better priced.. plans had to go back and forth as he got up to speed on what was required in that jurisdiction. 

My main question is does anyone have suggestions on possibly some financing possibilities, to speed up the Reno process and get it producing to make a refinance easier.

One thing I did not see in the tread (I 'speed' read it) is in regards to the 'labor' for flipping in a SDIRA.

My name is J.R. and I'm finally getting off my *** to make things happen.I am beggining to see what "Working at the speed of implementation" means.I'm going to start this as a way to track my progress as well as get input from the seasoned investors.This is also a good way to keep accountability and hopefully be an example to newer investors!

Wind speed picked up and there was some rain, that's about it. 

Not looking to lecture, and I don't know your finances, but the turtle won the race because the hare got flattened by a freight train at the intersection of routes 2006 and 2007 because his speed was too close to 100 mph (read LTV)... 

What is 100% certain, is that all the lots, empty buildings, spaces, warehouses that seemed to be operating at dead slow today are operating at hyper speed and the resurgence is not just a short play, it is a strategic and cohesive redevelopemnt.

How much money needs put into the property to get it up to speed? 

its best to pay for coaching... free coaching is just that free... and unreliable... you just get folks that want to use you as a bird dog.. and if you bring a deal OK.. busy SUCCESSFUL RE folks generally don't have the time or skill set to be teachers.if you want to do this or get this info for free keep trolling BP.. not sure what a lawyer is going to do for you.. and this will be expensive.. couple things you can do that will give you some skill sets1. study for RE license this will get you up to speed on your state specific laws and terms.2. collage class's on accuonting and marketing3.
