I'm not sure what a newbie brings to the table during the rehab process anyway. 

You get started in the market and get a sense if you even like this business or not. 

My partner is a builder and recently he’s been charging for the repairs through his business.

I am now significantly more focused on my Wholesaling business, and less on my agent business.

Otherwise many investors would buy, "kick out," and bring in higher paying tenants.I think the better question is what's needed that is health and safety?

I’m here to learn about getting into the house flipping business and growing a portfolio of long term holds.

That's just a business scam.

Throughout my life (grade school, college, business), I've always been a big advocate of taking notes and organizing different sources of information into one place, making it all easier to digest.

A building I am looking at now will bring us around 1k a door in a nice area in Westchester, NY.  

Which in turn will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the area.
