Newbi - Need some wisdom from you all

Hello everyone,

My wife and I have identified a few states where we would like to begin our real estate investing careers. We are from Washington State but we weren't too keen on any market near us. However, we would love to invest in Idaho to be honest! This would be our ideal place if good deals were available. 

We live and work in Europe but are US citizens. We are looking to be semi-aggressive investors even though our role will be passive.

We are very new to this, however, and trying our best to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible.

Questions:

1. We would like speak with conventional lenders in Idaho. Any recommendations?

2. If my focus is cash flow, would duplexes be a better option than SFH in some of these markets in Idaho?

3. Should I avoid Boise, or are there still good deals for a newbie to consider?

4. If Idaho becomes an option, I will want to build my team. Any recommendations for attorneys or asset protection companies? 

Thanks in advance everyone.
