We track our performance, and our numbers use to be a close rate of 1/50 contacts. 

Hi All,Sorry for asking such  a newbie question that probably has already been addressed here but I can't find it. so here I go.In a bathroom remodel project what task  do you think can be performed by a trained handyman vs Professional?

Are rentals the type of investing you perform?

I might loop in my family as well and perform their deals but that is it - this would not be a full-time job or anything.

And I could repeat that performance over and over and over again.Part of my last statement is to demonstrate that I'm in the midwest and I could get those results for a private money lender doing my own deals and if you want to be a property owner you could do the same thing.

After one year, or long enough to show future investors that the numbers DO actually perform, open the opportunity up for investors as a second mortgage (in the amount of the 20%) and provide them a fixed return (8-10%), after of course running the numbers to ensure it still cash flows with this second mortgage.  

If you are the buyer, show them the money.If you are trying to act as an unlicensed intermediary, find someone who can perform and take a referral fee.Realtor has a commission on the line and this is not their first rodeo, I guess.

I might loop in my family as well and perform their deals but that is it - this would not be a full-time job or anything.

the real question is do I become a landlord using strict investment strategies (low price multi units that can cash flow on average at least $1000 a month) or invest in performing notes.

Don't feel as though I owe you any explanations but for the benefit of others who may read your rather brash and unwarranted reply it goes something like this.I started as a general contractor in 1986 doing rehabs and retrofitting on MH's and due to some of the trades I was performing on them was required to get a MH contractors license as well.
