Is it worth getting under contract and doing inspections and contractor bids?

I had them Quit Claim the property to my LLC and then sold it back to them with a land contract or 24 months.

It seems like a lot below ARV but lets say I am flipping the place (I am a buy and hold investor but for this example we will use a flipper) I need to finance the deal and repair (cost of money: HML loans are not cheap), I need to work to do the rehab even when using contractors (manage the contractors, etc.), I need to sell the property (approaches 10% to sell a property), and I take on all the risk of unexpected events. 

My Taxes have never been complicated in the past, but I much prefer a certified and knowledgeable tax expert to assist me in filing my taxes in California.   

Had some good pointers about contractors but that’s really it so far.I agree about long distance rehabbing.

Thumbtack is a potential place to find contractors.6.

For someone just starting out the Certified Exchange Specialist designation is a nice one to have. 

I have a home in Wilmington NC and need a GC that understand the investor mindset, can anyone recommend a contractor?

I will be getting a contractor.

Use your own contractors and do it on your time frame.
