I am projecting about 9-10% cash on cash return, plus the additional 4% that mortgage paydown will give me. 

so before you look away let me just say I'm not giving up, I'm just frustrated and looking for some advice from those that have been there.I've done all the work and setup for starting my first flip project. 

This was a really rewarding project.

Someone with expertise should be able to quote a flat rate for the entire project and for each stage of the project.I would expect a lawyer to charge more if getting paid depends on future events, because that means more risk for the lawyer.

.- I use it on every project it is a invaluable tool that runs forever on a charge and has all the power you could ever want from a cordless.2.

Collaboration can happen anywhere, especially among like-minded people who are taking action in other areas.What kind of opportunities have brought you the greatest happiness?

I would take a 2 or 3 quarter view of your average maintenance and see what projections you come up with to be sure the job you'd be hiring for is actually stable on your first go at this. 

IE consult with investors and do their due diligence on the syndicator the project etc.charge a nominal fee but give the investor some piece of mind that a third party went through the offering docs.. did some due diligence on the market and such.. ???

Tell the guys at the counter what you are looking for and they will gladly give you a list of the best tradesmen for the project. 

Account Closed no one can give you a closing cost, or a holding cost, or a lending cost number... it will vary on every single project, often by a lot.
