Any major projects would eat through that 10k number very quickly.Other than that, it looks to me like you're conservative. 

Only local speakers doing local projects.

Currently I am a implementation consultant and project manager in the financial services industry and I am looking to start getting into real estate and build it into a full time business.

with a colleague on a fix & Flip project.

So I'm thinking about getting a hard money loan and picking up these higher-end properties and just farm out the fix work and skip the houses with really bad problems...but ones with normal problems I can probably get done.I did 35 flip but I'm 70 years old ...in good condition....and I wonder, do you think the bigger projects will work out.  

And also, most of the renovation projects don't fit my criteria for rental so I would sell those too.

If you intend on flipping a property you will need up to 20% of the project cost (purchase price + rehab) in cash before you begin. 

The price will be driven by the number of fixtures and lengths of runs of piping, but I just can't imagine it costing it anywhere near $30 to $40k.For a similar project for me in Kansas City, re-plumbing new water supply lines would be <$10k.I think big risk is how much water damage, mold remediation, drywall patching, insulation, framing & other finishes needs to be replaced?

So only QuickBooks Online and Wave have these 2 features.Since QuickBooks Online charges a minimum of $15/month, I decided to go with Wave since it is completely Free.The feature I miss is the Projects Tracking (tracking expenses in each project), which is only available in QuickBooks Online Plus for $50/month.

What is ARVI know this....what can I do with a good project that is to costly for me to handle ?
