These projects will not be flips.  

Ultimately I'd like to find a G.C that can handle my projects, from demo to final finish.I'm looking to build a long term relationship with a company that possesses the following: Fair pricing, timely & efficient, communicative, can get the job done on time & on budget.

I have been primarily focusing on the scottsdale area over the last year, and I am starting a new fix and flip project in a few weeks.  

My next project is to use regressions to quantify the value of DFW schools in the price of 3/2 SFHs.

Add that to your projected holding costs and rehab numbers to make an offer based on all of those details.  

Great job on starting renovations so early.  

If you are or become an accredited investor, you can buy into institutional grade $50-125M projects with as little as $100,000 and diversify.

I remember purchasing my first investment property and paying too much for it and doing an extensive renovation on it at that.

I would only change these items if I know the area does not see much vacancies or if I replaced everything breakable at the initial renovation phase.

Chris T.While we are not flippers, we do use a similar approach by purchasing tired properties and forcing appreciation: it is just rehab-n-hold as opposed to rehab-n-sell.When we are carrying out a deep retrofit on a newly acquired property, we will put a sign in the yard advertising another "modern, heathy and energy efficient home in the making"  with an indication of when it will be available for rent.We typically have the units rented before the renovation is complete.
