I believe she ' s incompetent too incompetent to run such a supposedly complex and clandestine drug operation . <| sep |> I own a real estate company , but I also own a landscape construction company which has helped me out a lot . But I didn ' t start out this way , I started similar to how you are starting out . I started off getting a loan of $ 65 , 000 . It was from a family member and the deal was that at the closing I had to pay back $ 70 , 000 at the closing of the property . This helped a lot because I didn ' t have monthly payments to worry about as long as I sold it within 1 year . I ended up making nearly $ 40 , 000 on this first flip , but I had the right contractors who I met through some family connections . I will tell you right off the bat , 90 days is probably not going to happen if you are talking about a full gut renovation . If you want to hire the biggest , baddest contractor , yes they can easily get it done in that time frame but it will cost you an arm and a leg . I started out with a small contractor who had 4 total employees and a good reputation . He had been in the business for nearly 20 years and had done plenty of work for my family and they all trusted him and spoke highly of him . I eventually made enough money off them that I decided to pretty much buy his company and put him on my payroll .
