Or if you would suggest another strategy to start with, im open to suggestions.

May I suggest you look closely at Xero for your accounting needs.

Great suggestion!

In any case, my study has still left these holes, so just looking for insight.Thanks all,JTM  

I didn't commit to the wholesaler, just checking out all avenues as I continue to study up on REI. 

Post up on BP if anyone can offer any suggestions on good contractors in your area.  

Hello Everyone,I have a Contract in Place to close on a house by next week.This is my First Rehab Project.I have been looking for the houses for the past 6 months and also paid for Seminar/Workshop to study the Flipping Process.I finally decided to jump in this business,because i think i have found a house,in which i might make some money,but obviously not without encountering number of hurdles and obstacles.I have come across my first hurdle,which is, I am in need of a good General Contractor who can do the Rehab work and give me an estimate on it.Does any one in the Cincinnati Region has any Recommendations?

It's exciting to see how many helpful people are involved in the industry and suggests to me a lot of potential for networking and symbiotic relationships.

Any suggestions on who to specifically reach out to to help you define what your investment criteria should be?

Any other suggestions ?
