Also wouldn't mind building a relationship to team up on a project. 

Any advice on where to find a good GC or the name of one that does fix and flip work.

Hey everyone, I’m a new investor ready to get my first deal and wanted other opinions on several different directions I could go with my first purchase.

Whether it was a win or a tough learning experience, I’d love to hear your insights on what you’ve learned about flipping that’s different from other types of investments.

So for now I am striking out on my own. 

My name is Maria and my husband and I are looking to invest in a condo rental property on the west coast of Florida.

We are considering building 4-5 duplex's on the property over the course of a few years so we can pay them down as we go.

I've been investing in the stock market for 30+ years, but am at the point where I'm ready to diversify more into real estate.I've been lurking on the forums here for quite some time and I am amazed at the value of the posts and level of knowledge that exists here.

Honestly, big banks have terrible rates on mortgage.Work with a broker, they are your best bet; pricing beats big banks 9 times out of 10.

Yep it really comes down to risk you want to take on.
