Hello EveryoneI am in the very early stages of learning REI.

The better builders can do everything well, but the smaller ones really struggle because they’re too small to have a lot of folks on staff to handle the volume when projects land at the finish out stage in parallel.

I need to protect the investment for my sons as I am out of work with Stage IV breast cancer, with the new treatments out there I could be around for quite a while.

For example, if you do not need the excess cash today you can plow it back into other properties.  

In this early stage, learning as much as I can while preparing my finance, would be my short term goal.

The operating partner typically invests a smaller percentage of capital and collects a fee and a carry, or in other words, charges a regular ongoing fee to the project for active management and takes a disproportionate share of the profits for returns achieved in excess of an agreed-upon structure of investment rate hurdles (known as a waterfall).

At what stage I should ask for bank statements and tax returns?

Still in the early stages, but it's an official go!

I will put in new cabinets (lillyann cabinets), appliances, and granite or marble counters.A new roof will be going on.New interior doors (bought online, pre-hung at $39/door, basic 6 panel)New windows - cheapest bid so far for labor and materials is $6200 (including a large patio door, that is the most expensive) we are doing them to code, so that adds a cost.Popcorn ceiling removal, a lot of drywall patchesNew light fixtures, outlets, switches, updating some outlets to GFCInew baseboards (.70/linear foot at home depot)new plumbing fixturesplumb for dishwasherpaint interior and exteriortile on floor in bathrooms yard cleanupBasic landscapingDespite the "starter home" I will have the property fully staged.

Does anyone know of a staging company or where tp get staging furniture for Baltimore and DC?
