That may take you 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and hundreds of offers to get there.

Depends on the laws in your state , In Maryland , it use to be a car over 10 years old , you didnt need a title to scrap it , But when scrap was at $ 14.00 per hundred guys were stealing older cars right off the street and scraping them .

If you want to do those things then that should be your business(building websites/software).In my opinion you would be better off paying someone a few hundred dollars to create the website for you which would free your time to research and close more deals.Not trying to be harsh in any way, but you may want to consider what you are more passionate about.

I've done hundreds of eviction cases in Los Angeles and even though I've ru.

Take a look at the most prominent real estate investors and developers and many are very highly leveraged and own hundreds of millions of dollars worth of real estate.

They don't care you have closed on hundreds of deals and you have a big company.

I do not want employees and hundreds of millions of dollars.  

@  Br@Brian Risi  don't be afraid of unknown, what's worse that can happen, you lose a few hundred or thousand dollars....you will probably blow that on beer, starbucks, eating out whatever X 10 in a year.i started with about $500, testing signs, mailers, etc, all in all, probably spent over a grand in marketing.

A book could be written as to the structures as you have many options, they can buy and finance and you contract, you buy and sell turn key, you can get the seller involved, do the work for them and flip the contract to an end buyer, partner with the owner and sell turn key, arrangements are endless.To structure it, you'll need to consider the buyer's position and ability to buy, they will be getting the end loan.Really boils down to financing, who gets the construction financing, does title need to pass  to do the work, where do you put your profit, again, the end buyer's ability to finance.You'd be selling from plans and specs, yes, you need a good down payment if the buyer is picking appliance, colors, materials as what they may select may not be as marketable if the fall out of the deal, you're stuck with pink bedrooms, green carpet, crappy ceiling fans and hickory cabinets.

I'm looking around the place trying to assess what it would need and remembered meeting a guy in the same complex who did a complete reno and said he put about $15k into it, (complete kitchen gut job, tile, carpet, bath cabinets, paint, moldings...the works) So I factor this into the equation.
