Also, there are small business forming that focus on building relationships with these companies and sourcing bookings for your property for a referral fee.

I do not believe the 4 phases of a real estate cycle are applicable at this moment.

Hello BP Community, I have a somewhat tricky situation that I need help with - which may be a simple answer for you Real Estate experts! 

We found it on Zillow, notified our real estate agent we were interested.

I'll keep it brief: FHA Streamlines are absolutely real and a great option. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

This has given me a lot to think about as I move forward with my real estate goals.

Mike - no experience working with them but I did hear that HF's don't purchase real estate via assignments or double closes.

Flipping is 10x the time that wholesaling is, in or out of state, and if you don't pay attention you will lose and lose on contractors.A first flip will take you 2-3x longer than you think, cost 2-3x more than you think, and one contractor will walk with your money at least.What you are trying to do is to create a side hustle in real estate, but you are biting off things that you don't have time for.

I have a real estate mentor who is helping walk me through the whole process, nothing crazy.
