But I am even more excited to reach my goals.I am hoping to close my first house hacking deal in the Spring of 2017.I currently work full time as a Client Services Account Manager for a Health Insurance company.I enjoy the security and responsibility of my FT job but I also look forward to accomplishing my goals of supplementing my income, setting up a long term “retirement” plan, creating a legacy and ownership for my children and the overall accomplishment of OWNERSHIP.I look forward to using REI as a vehicle to get there.I am very excited to “learn the ropes” and hopefully partner with other seasoned investors in an effort to grow in the business.My initial goal is to establish about $500/month from income properties and to accumulate $100K in cash to start, within the next 2 years.Lofty but doable…I would like to use the “buy, rehab, rent and refinance” as my primary strategy.I would also like to identify a mix of wholesale and fix and flip deals along the way.I have been looking through the forums and posting some questions myself and I would just like to say thank you to everyone!

I'm Charmian, and I'm currently a graduate student in the health sciences in Southern California.

There are a lot of opportunities on this website to meet investors, network, mentors, and numerous learning resources.

I'm getting it from my best friend, who is a contractor and has flipped and rehabbed numerous flooded homes.

Looking for qualified General Contractors in the Charlotte area that have done numerous flip renovations before and be willing to show reference list as well on previous projects. 

My professional background is in residential Energy Efficiency consulting, so I am familiar with retrofit projects as they relate to occupant comfort, improving energy bills, improving indoor air quality, and health & safety.

However, after analyzing numerous deals I have not been able to find any deals that cash flow positive.

There are numerous forum posts on them.  

If the deal you are trying to fund is a great deal, you should be able to find a partner willing to take the second lien position in return for some kind of payment (which could be structured numerous different ways).

Petersburg to be exact.I wholesale properties within three counties; Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Manatee.I’ve been doing this for numerous years and have zero desire to rehab/flip properties.
