I have around 10 R.E. transactions under my belt but still consider myself a newbie.  

@George Blower , Thank you for the friendly welcome!

@George Blower  Many thanks George.  

Hi @ George Blower, @ Tom Ott-Thanks @ Larry Fried- Thanks for your feedback about JAX, I am currently working with turnkey provider in JAX but their numbers don't reflect great ROI, Its better only in long-term.

We have also found several smaller local banks and credit unions in border areas (New England, the Rust Belt) that will make secured loans to Canadians.

Learn from someone else's mistakes, don't reinvent the wheel, etc.My goal for my first deal is to financially partner on a flip with someone who has some successful rehabs under their belt so I can be involved in a deal, see firsthand all of the stages of the process, and learn the basics from someone with some proven experience. 

Thanks @George Blower @James WiseThank you for the advise and thoughts @Larry Fried I am surely going to keep looking into it. 

What I was figuring was that to get experience under our belt Do Hard Money, could be used to help fund, but quickly realizing that I'm gonna need to be able to fund the rehab too. 

George Blower thank you as well and I will be talking with them as well.

On this team is someone who has a couple deals under his belt (mostly flips though).
