We decided I would come up with all the financing (7.5k) and she would GC the deal for her first time and basically do all the ground work and work on what she could.

You will have parking lot and grounds maintenance, legal fees, tenants who trash your place, etc, etc, etc. 

Hi @Jeff Gersbach...most likely, those who are posting those signs are wholesalers or somewhat new investors looking for "Bird Dogs" or other boots on the ground help.  

Fast forward to August and the place was finally ready to list (even though the contractor bailed before it was over I was protected because the renovation money was held in escrow and only dispersed upon completion of the different phases of work). 

Let me know what you have going and how I can help make your problems go away.We are in the middle of rehabbing 6 units in Santa Paula and looking to add a ground up ADU.

A short-term lease may be a great idea to get my feet on the ground while house hunting.

The Phoenix area generally always has had more ground in a new area to build new developments.

The reason real estate is such a good investment is because it is actually tangabile and you want to keep that aspect alive so I say if can go see it them dont bother Unless the price is low, you have trusted boots on the ground or unless you know the area well.

If I can flip all properties completely within 3-4 months(which is what I've been doing) I should be able to hit at least 30 per year focusing on properties in the 50-$150000 dollar range. ( I realize I will have to find more contractors which I am in the process of doing.2-Flip some, and branch out into development, which at the moment I don't know much about, and as far as starting out goes, could take time to break ground, getting everything approved and permitted by the city, finding home plans and such.

Is it purged to the ground?
