I decided to just strip it and put up hardi plank...The three main things appeared to be:1) proper cleaning of any chalked paint and scuffing of any smooth surfaces, 2) using a base coat desenged for proper adherance, and 3) since aluminum will expand and contract more than wood with changes in temperature, you need a paint that is relatively flexible.

And most of my lenders would prefer to lend shorter-term for my flips than longer-term for buy-and-hold (that said, anyone who wants to lend short- or long-term, feel free to let me know :).But, to answer your specific question above, if the person doing the work weren't experienced and/or didn't have access to cheap capital, a partnership could potentially generate much better returns than borrowing at high-interest rates.For example, assume that you purchase a property with little equity (you couldn't easily resell it for a profit) but that throws off about 25% per year in cash flow (cash-on-cash return).

Bienes Raices Receiving emails (MLS listings) from the listing agent
6 February 2012 | 7 replies
Once you show that you are for real (by closing on a deal,or by giving them offers that make sense along with POF - POF is the thing that helps your credibility), then you will be able to ask them to keep you informed of new listings (and you'll ask to gain access prior to them hitting MLS).You say you have already closed on REO before.
