I was approached by the Housing and Re-development Authority in my home town where I had bought the house 5 years ago for $25,000.

This is why wholesaling is a much easier approach.

Wondering how many experts need to be brought in or if a general contractor can do all your certifications for you themselves?

This help here has made it clear that it seems this entire approach  would be co- mingling, and this isn't visible.

I sought out to find my own references, but wasn't able to find any (even after posting here on Bigger Pockets).For the time being, I'm sticking with a simpler approach of having a good Umbrella insurance policy and one LLC holding the few properties that I own.Would love to hear what you end up doing, Jessica S.

Now that's covered I'll get paid one of two ways, either by you paying me out 2.5%-3% on top of what they seller is letting you have the place for OR you can pay me later, when the house is brought to market, at a higher % which is NOT evenly split with the buyer's agent.  

But while I was there, I met an individual who brought the property to my attention.

How you approach this does matter.

The approach is to interview them.

If I may ask, what brought you to BP, and what kind of deals are you searching for?
