Welcome to biggerpockets.stay, interact and i'm sure your skills will come of much use in flipping house businessYou might need a hard/private money lender to fund projects, as well as wholesaler from your area to supply you ugly houses 

Thanks for the opinion on the other side of the coin.That is why we post and interact on BP is to find better/new ways of doing things!

If you understand how the numbers interact you'll feel more comfortable in your evaluation of the deal and it's risk/reward and it's overall "value".Word of caution, just because the numbers make sense that's not the entire part of the equation... but it will help you narrower down your search.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has had positive interactions with any of of these professionals in the real estate industry.

I look forward to meeting other members to interact and grow not only our portfolio, but network, and resources as well.Julian    

George,Since the LLC is not in good standing with the Secretary of State I would interact with the member on an individual level.

From my understanding and very recent interaction with an appraiser for a large national lender- Appraisals are just comparing apples to apples: sq. footage, property specs- baths/beds, basic features.So- I'm going to actually disagree slightly and say that appraisals can also be on the lower end of what you'll see with comps.

That said my experience with the tenant pool at large is basically non-existent other than my interactions with neighbors I suppose. 

by the way, I'm a licensed real estate professional that is regulated by the state...just so you are aware all my interactions are transparent and I'm held at a higher level"...it carries a lot of weight. 

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.
