At my brokerage, we require investors agree to an initial meeting with us prior to sending them our properties to ensure safety, full disclosure, and full transparency. 

Our current cash flow is -$200 a month and we'd like to fix that.The initial numbers came back from Wells Fargo at a 5.25% interest rate.

Hi James - Great initiative, I would just say it would be more helpful to have a link to BP Calculator of the property you're talking about to detail your analysis.

By the time I received it, I had about a day to perform initial due diligence and respond. 

Have your general contractor request and go over the initial estimate and any revised ones from your ins company once he does this and makes a few calls to your adjuster he will have done the job of a PA. 

I suggest you find one < 2 hours away initially so you can manage and get the experience. 

There's very little you can't verify about a property, and turnkeys are no exception.

@Curtis Thygerson Depends on how deep you’re willing to jump in initially.

I'm not soliciting clients, just offering advice :)With a contracting business, and ONLY for a chart of accounts initial set-up, yours should be pretty straightforward, unless you plan to do job costing and estimates through QB and require items and services to be input as well. 

But initially I am planning 40% for 6 months to a year.
