Remember to target people with last market sale date of 3+ years - this number depends on how much the market grew but you are really trying to avoid cash buyers from the last couple months/years, they won’t want to see it :)

Welcome @Jacob HanikaI'm in Omaha and have attended the Omaha Real Estate meetup a couple of times.

I am thinking that by the time the contractor gives me the cost for the project the homes will many times already be sold and after a couple times of doing that the contractor will no longer want to go look at houses with me. 

I am also looking to invest and have a couple of people from my office who live in Point Breeze and love the place.

Have found a couple houses but can't proceed until we get pre-qualified for a loan.

Second, got a couple questions about the flip:1.

Better to spend a couple hundred bucks than to lose thousands because of a quirk in the law you didn't understand.. 

I’m African America and it’s sad one has to think like this but I’m black and I know my appearance is gonna frighten off some older white couple, how do I avoid that?

This way, you do not have to marry (which is equity/LLC) before you date (set return).In the future, after this deal, if you guys work together seamlessly, then maybe create a new LLC.
