Buyers will have a LOT less advocacy, less representation, and I will have some more paperwork saying a person knowingly tried to negotiate with a professional R.E. shark and that they own the results free of any liability on the sharks. 

I'm gonna tag @Elise Bickel Tauber in this post as she's definitely the right person for you to get in touch with in terms of investing in the Pittsburgh market - smart move by the way. 

I would personally stick with Sacramento or within a 2 hour drive if you're going to BRRRR where you could check up on the project.

I'm working on a short plat and will be building another house on the new lot. 

So far the applicants that are coming in are unemployed but have housing vouchers that can cover 100% of the rent.

Yeah, I was thinking of buying a triplex and house hacking starting next year.

Does anyone have any helpful advice or personal experience on splitting the profits of your first several flips with your GC?

@Aramazt Tanashian I'd be cautious as no expert works for free.So, either this person talks a good game, but doesn't know what they are doing, OR they are hiding how they'll make money finding you a property & rehabbing it for them to manage.EXAMPLE: contracting companies make 20-40% markups, so why would this consulting company not charge to handle rehabbing a property for you?

If you asked the average person outside of New York State where Upstate NY is, the most common answer would be "north of NYC."

Personal liability.
