The clients my business supports range from contractors, plumbers, electricians, attorneys, accountants, etc so building my team was a piece of cake.

I currently work full time as a contractor for a computer software company.

I like land and the potential yields, especially being a contractor/builder it comes easy.

In addition to repairing any sump pumps or mechanical fixes, I'd consult a contractor familiar with site drainage.

Her response was “I will get you the cma once I know the extent of your rehab to the property”.I have seen the property with my contractor and I have my repair costs, I told her what the rehab plan was but it has been two days and still no cma.

I did not want to perform 2 closings with this financer so I would orginally purchase the property with a land contract or private funds.

Usually, they have their own contractors.

At least in SoCal/Los Angeles County I should be able to experience decent appreciation.(2) I don’t have a good feel for the area, so I’m hesitant to purchase in the wrong type of area (bad location, bad pool of tenants, etc.).(3) I'm a beginning investor who intends to be a hands-on property owner (at least as much as possible at the start), which means a lot of long drives from L.A. showing properties, dealing with utility companies, handy-man/contractor visits, etc.

Automate your business as much as possible - use voice mail for seller leads/tenant issues, create good Statement of Works for your contractors, move majority of relationships with insurance agents, contractors, etc to email first communication.4.

I can do a lot of the rehab work myself (except for HVAC, carpet, roofing) and I have a contractor to tackle the stuff I feel is beyond my abilities.Am I going to have any luck finding a lender for a manufactured home?
