I'm looking to get involved with anyone that is begging or experienced that is currently doing buy and holds or flips.

.*** Handy and can DIY small flip projects, demo, flooring, kitchen/bath remodel, paint, walls, ceiling etc.Hopefully can get some tips from all the experienced investors here.

@Eric NarcisoI have experienced this issue as well.

So I thought wouldn't it be great if I had the funds for the deposit/purchase price than ad a experienced partner to help me purchase the property.

I see advantages to continue renting while we invest in other properties.Only have to take out one loan for the investmentRenting keeps us from any personal maintenance costs we have to incurInvestments can eventually pay for our homeI don't know much about lending rules, but I'm curious to hear from experienced folk on advice here.

@Steve RozenbergYou know the answer to that one :P What problems are you experiencing?

Hi,reaching out to the more experienced hard money lenders in this forum.Recently I completed my first hard money lending deal(I am the lender) to a company which is flipping houses.  

As well as speak to experienced wholesalers.BTW, I am in IT Consultant in real life. 

But I'm sure a lot of the more experienced rehabbers on the site can give a better opinion on the best retail values which may be in the 100-200k range. 

If that's listing probates, then you'd better know the process, court system and be an experienced problem solver.
