(otherwise you might be paralyzed by analysis-paralysis)   Congrats for getting in the game!

Can you elaborate on the turnaround projects you are considering?  

After 21 day review, the permit is ready for pick-up and initial inspection, but things have gone bad with this contractor on another project (he's now breached both contracts timelines by a longshot).

- Any tips or lessons learned for this type of project: I am typically a buy-and-hold kind of person and this is my first construction project.Thank youMo

I'm not a handyman nor do I have any interest in that but I love the deal and analysis that comes with the world of investing and flipping.I live at home with mom and she is discontent with my career choice as I only work about 25 hours a week and not a traditional 9-5 schedule.

Projected to be nearly 3 mil in five more years.

You might consider both (asking for references, and scouting the early bird material buyers in different sections of store) so that you have contacts for quick-and-dirty jobs, as well as larger projects.  

Our plan was to acquire 2 or 3 single family homes then make the leap to developing bigger commercial projects from raw land with a proven history in real estate investing. 

Hi AllI am looking to raise money for a project through crowdfunding.

I don't like labor-only projects because I want material losses, mistakes, over-orders, etc to be the responsibility of the contractor.
