The minute I put a REAL (not wholetail) DEAL under contract I would reach out to each of them with a PDF presenting the property, the comparable sales within 0.25mi, pictures, and a full rehab estimate from my contractor.

Like yourself my wife and I started investing after I finished with My electrical eng Grad school and she finished with her medical school.

You can get your deals done the correct way on BiggerPockets.3) Consider joining a real estate investment club in your area and "rub elbows" with local investors and other real estate professionals (attorneys, contractors, lenders, title reps, escrow agents, appraisers, etc.).

Are the tenants paying for (water + electric) ?.

If not, contractors, mortgage brokers, anyone who has access to investors?

You can get all your deals done correctly on BiggerPockets.Since you have limited capital, you can try assignments or flips to make some quick cash while the contractor or renovator gets the lion's share of the profit since they will be doing all the work to make the property more profitable.

However the electrical has been upgraded and is separated.

I just closed on my second single family home for buy and hold.I'm looking for recommendations on a contractor/handyman in the Rocky Mount VA area.

Preferably, go for $1 million+ purchase price because you can get better agency financing.There would a lot of work to do finding the deal, performing due diligence, lining up insurance and various inspectors and contractors.

Long story short, I used the wrong contractor and the property took almost 11 months to get on the market.
