Maybe you can shed some light on cost savings as it relates to, retaining 1 part of the original structure (in the event of a teardown-rebuild scenario), where be it, a wall or a prescribed portion of the original structure is retained, per the request of the city/county? 

We are looking to buy and hold. 

This way all specific systems that could cost big $$$ are getting evaluated by the people who know them ( and the plus side is we are getting prices to fix items if needed).  

Anywho, we are based in Charles Co, MD and been to the meet ups and so far have been getting help from some amazing people in the field. 

We are in Cincinnati, Dayton, OH.  

We are also hosting a multifamily workshop Thursday Sep 8th 6-9pm at my office 295 W Center St-Provo.

Sure, but we are likely reaching the point where I have to leave this to the experienced sponsors on BP because I don't want to be that guy who provides advice on the sponsor side of the transaction.  

Maybe @Joel Owens and/ or @Bob E. might have some insight on this since you both also work in this space.Again, awesome event @J.

We are currently on our third flip using our HELOC, and it is going very well, as did our second.  

(We are keeping the 40k in a completely separate bank account) My questions for local NOLA area BP users:What areas would you recommend for a first time flipper?
