The RE investing that makes fast money is not really “investing” - it’s a self-employed RE business.

The one area I'm further from confidence on is the planted pine. 

He does not have turn key's but I think he can add value to your knowledge base + it would be wise to have the knowledge to create your own team when out of state investing because if the turnkey company turns out to not meet your expectations you need the confidence to fire them and build the team on your own as Jordan has.

Bad tenants tend to not have self-reflection and are negative people, all around. 

Things I'm not entirely sure yet/Would like to get inputs:1) Never dealt with hard-money lenders so far and would like to know more2) Never dealt with wholesalers, so keen for feedback on what to look out for2) I have a breakdown of repairs, will share if required but confident that this will come under 75k (Current estimate is 60k)Open to any suggestions. 

I’d also double the vacancy to 10% and build in PM fees 10-12% for safety even if you plan to self manage, in case you end up not managing it for whatever reason you should have that built in and put it in a reserve fund.

If you don’t want to self manage we find Ecolve is the best option.

I self-manage so don't know how the property management companies do it, but I don't collect the application fee until after they have seen the property and passed my pre-screening questions.  

I can turn around sell that same deal to a investor who is buying cash or maybe doing the work them self at 75 to 80 cents on the dollar and he will be completely happy with that price.
