I’m new to the Real Estate world and I’m considering going into Fixing and Flipping.

Are you in the real estate business?

Lastly, they don't get a hit on their taxes until they receive their money, which is a benefit to the seller that is easily over looked. 

i have the current rent rolls & yearly expense report so far. however, i would assume they will require much more. as i have never approached a hard money lender, i would appreciate any advice given. im in texas by the way. thank you

If you have a massive infusion of money that you are going to put into the business and run it like that, then get the GC.

Other alternatives to save 20% each time include seller financing, partnerships, hard money loans, house hacking, portfolio loans, and private money lenders.

Reading this then lead me to try and find ways to invest my money.

We "lose" money on a cashflow basis, but completely comfortable with that as this is more of a 2nd home that renters help us pay for.

In other words, I think a partnership where I bring the remodeling know how and sweat, (I have 26 years of experience and I have already created good relationships with subs I trust) and where the investor brings the money to pay for the property and rehab, could be a great fit for the kind of investor who wants to flip properties, but doesn’t want the hassle and stress of the rehab construction.  

Just joined these forums so hopefully this is in the right thread.I work freelence and W2 work and I want to invest in real estate next year.
