We would like to fully finish the basement on our side of the duplex and "partial" finish the basement on the occupied side.

In this time span I am doing flips and saving from my current professional career.In this 1-2 year timeline we would we would meet on a consistent basis and develop a solid plan of action to acquire these syndication deals.At this point I would like to connect with people and see if our interests align and if we could work well together.I currently have interest from several people that have either an extensive finance background or have many properties in their portfolio already.I currently have no deals in my portfolio but what I bring to the table is experience in building websites, marketing (specifically search engine optimization), good financial understanding, and a great ambition to succeed in real estate.If this is something that interests you please message me for more information or to ask any questions. 

We run on Saturday mornings and didn’t finish up until after 8am.

I'm specifically looking to Home Equity Loan out of a property that I finished rehabbing.
