sure im in, maybe i can invite a few people too.  

Trying to manage this yourself is basically an open invitation for pretty big problems (e.g. break-ins/vandalism, frozen pipes/water damage, etc.) -- failing to hire a property manager in an effort to save some $$$ when you're not local AND you're not intimately familiar with the market is almost always a penny-wise, pound-foolish move.

Ill explain my situation the best I can...Ive got a 100% remote corporate w2 Job making approximately 200k that offers a bit of flexibility since its mostly just project work.

I find that complaining usually falls on more receptive ears when a possible solution is also offered.

You can bring in a GC after you get it under contract or at the earliest when you decide to make an offer if you need a rehab estimate for your loan. 

In the end, it doesn't matter because if another agent at another brokerage presented the offer, you would be splitting the gross commissions with them.  

This is a very real value that you can cash in on by selling the property or pulling a HELOC and reinvesting.Appreciation details and assumptions:While real estate appreciation is not guaranteed, historical trends can offer some predictive insight.

If they were to be the guarantor for the construction loan, how much should I offer?

They will only do 65% LTV which isn’t as good as Penfed’s 80% LTV, but at least for now they still offer them.

When discussing these properties I simply call up the listing agent and ask what offer of compensation is being offered and make sure to write it into the contract.
