I am up in the white mountains, just north of Plymouth.As far as investment locations go, the southern part of the state has the bulk of the population and has seemed to suffer the most of the slump in prices lately, so that is where I expect to be hearing about the opportunities.I plan to partner with a contractor that has done work for me before.

Are you going to partner or just try to do short term deals (in and out so less need for a full team locally)?

Or get a partner with a clear way to later buy them out.Let the market help produce the money you need for investing.John Corey

Glad I've got a partner to help carry the vacancy a few months.

Partner in a mini storage and a long-distance rehab.

If you want to partner with another investor that can work.

Not naive sellers who will be less motivated to work with someone who is nervous.Or find a partner who can do more of the front work while you run the projects.Just do not let the speed bumps stop you.John CoreyOriginally posted by "chaz":I have an icredible passion for RE investing.

i have done tons of rehabs with my partner and i am looking to make more then a few thousand dollars so i am going to try to look into the prettyhouses of 100,000 and up market.

I'm currently living in Illinois (land of sue everyone for anything you can think of), so I was planning on starting a limited partnership with the LLC being the general partner, and myself being a limited partner.

if you paid cash and it holds value(equity) one option would be, a bank could give you an equity loan on the existing equity or better find a bank that does construction loans and they ll lend you what its worth now or what it will be worth upon completion. the money will be given in draws as you complete certain phases of the job so you ll have to plan out were and when the money gets spent example windows/carpet deposits and payoffs. another option would be to find partners(investors) to help with the construction costs
