@John Woodrich   Could I contact you (and if so, how would you prefer?) 

Prefer Orlando, lake County, Marion, Volusia etc areas, as I like to meet personally with the accountant Looking for a recommendation for an accountant you personally use in your flipping business Prefer not a generic accountant as the CPAs I have spoken with don’t have the knowledge of a full time flipping business unless they have worked with flippers for years thank you 

I have 25K through a HELOC (can probably get another 20K from my 401K and selling my stocks but would prefer to use OPM).

I'll def do so, and preferably do a standardized template that I can customize per offer. great feedback and very much so helpful.

We prefer being on the fringe of a larger city as we really don't understand city people that well and find it harder to determine what features they are wanting in a unit.

Being on a team is personal preference, but I prefer it because I like the camaraderie, support, and accountability of a team. eXp Realty also allows you to make your full commission on a couple of your own deals per year (minus a few minor fees for the transaction), which I find very helpful in general and as a real estate investor. 

Would prefer something where the incentives are more aligned and tied to long term success of the deal.Where do you typically come in contact with out of state sponsors and investors?

From there you can learn whether you like having a 3rd party manager in place, or if you would prefer to be more hands on. 

Hey Kaylan,Stick to the neighborhoods where your middle class Americans live (teachers, mechanics, mailmen, etc) These are the best areas to drive for dollars since most of your end-buyers prefer to flip these homes.Also, look into pulling the Code Violations list from your county - they are essentially driving for dollars for you.Best of luck 

Some lenders will do it in your name, and then transfer it back to the LLC, but I don't prefer that (due to transfer taxes).
