Reed mentions it all the time in his material.

I would get access to all their contracts and scope of work documents and written materials they use for evaluating and estimating costs on properties.The second half of the instruction would be a series of tours of their current rehab projects ( they said they generally have 10 to 15 going at any time) and properties which they are considering purchasing as flip projects.2) Guidance through 5 flip projects.

Usually, the lots are split and that's the extent of it, the builder has to bring in utilities, put in curb/gutter/sidewalk, etc.

NOT sure if he's a bp member or not, but he has a lot of great material on there too.welcome!

utilities split by 4" in winter time, when bills are high due to use of heater, it is true, but as soon as bills go down utilities become "fixed" all of a sudden for the amount you paid in winter time."

With the high cost of materials, you dont want mistakes, and there is no room for error.

My goals, though not very specific, is to make my first deal by the end of the year after learning/reading enough material to minimize my risks.

You can get an appraisal for the finished unit, use a bridge loan and or construction-rehab loan based off the ARV.So, check conventional and non-conventional, private/hard money lenders.Get credit from material suppliers, use thier money!

Utilize a RE agent if you must but make sure the tenant is compliant with YOUR screening criteria.

I definitely like the idea of utilizing multiple strategies.
