Allowed a two month project to yield a profit over $20,000.

My wife Dawn and I have started a part-time business in Rockledge, FL to buy, renovate, and either flip or rent distressed property. 

if one has a good friend that is in the contracting business, able to do a lot of the renovations himself. what kind of partnership proposal would entice someone like that to maybe provide renovation at a very low cost?

I don't "own" my own construction crew so I have to be careful about the projects I dump money into in order to get a return.

The thing is that most of the apartments in the building (with no renovation) of this size are sold for 285-300 range in the last 6 months (of course higher in 2006-2008), they are usually listed as 2 bedrooms, and the room downstairs is listed as dining room.

Also in this NYC market you have to look for properties that you can solve problems on if you're looking to get a discount, extensive renovations, problematic tenants, DOB violations, etc... and for those type of properties you will need cash or access to it.

My background is in international logistics and I believed I could apply that set of skills to the project management side of flipping  a home.

HelloI'm looking for a Northern CA hard money lender, portfolio lender or any creative lender for fix and flip projects in the area. 

I have been imagining building my sales website (buyers guide, community pages, IDX integration, home valuation page, etc) on MyOhioProperty.com and then building Evolvedproperty.com to give details on our services including making cash offers on homes, renovations, and our homes for rent.

I've not and am not buying now because I'm traveling, but I've heard about the town's growth on and off for a few years as well as Goodnight's backing of Chatham Park, a major project which it seems the locals resist because it will turn a small town into a bigger one.
