I was planning on coming back to Bigger Pockets now with my Flip Coach program.

It needs new floors, new carpet, new bathroom, new kitchen. 

We try to work out payment plans with tenants and are mildly successfulWhat are some rules and trends you have regarding rent collection?

The type of attorney to talk with about an LLC is estate planning or business formation. 

Others realized that this huge interest rate increase was going to have a significant effect on the cap rates and make the intended exit plan or refi plan not viable.

I have a property I've been planning to rehab and rent out.

It would be best to get it from friends and familyThose with little experience are struggling to raise money (I am in a group with 20+ syndicators and everyone is raising less and those who are first timers are basically drying up after first $500k-$1M)As mentioned syndication route would be your best bet but make sure to have a great plan in place on what you are going to do and how you will exit

Planning to be living together in CLT for at the least 2+ years, after this- up in the air on staying or moving.

But to answer your question, you'd probably have to look into getting a co-signer or getting a hard-money loan if you plan to flip.  

I would be inclined to do it for free if she’s your friend. i would be scared she had no plan to pay for the rehab when she purchased.How much money we we walking about?
