I’ve already spent months working on a budget, searching the big box stores websites, online auction sites, etc. and have a pretty good idea of what my materials cost should be.

(they have different websites for listed properties).

Thanks for bringing that up. 

Just make sure to draft an operating agreement.I typically see 50/50 deals when one partner brings the money and the other partner does the work. 

Excited to be posting on this most-relevant website, particularly after spending hours reading and listening to podcast and RE research information.

Glad you joined the best real estate investing website!

Connect with the Milwaukee REIA - you can easily find the website with a Google search.  

I know Zillow and other websites have tools to give you valuations on properties, but what other tools are there? 

BP is one of the best online real estate investment websites.

The cheapest is around $25/month significantly cutting into your monthly yield on such a small note.Thank you for bringing up this point Jay, I did not consider it.Originally posted by @Bob Malecki: Gary, I think a $5K note yielding 15% is very unrealistic unless you by a non performer and get it reperforming.
