Quote from @Kwanza Price: Thanks Chelsea for your reply.I mostly wanted to understand what the experience was like and if you have any advice for setting up an LLC/IRA?

Definitely continue seeking advice from experience realtors and understand your rental market, and make sure you understand the risks involved.

Unfortunately, I’ve run into a major issue: I received a Stop Work Notice on my property in Covington, GA, because I didn’t have the proper permits for the renovations.I want to resolve this as quickly and smoothly as possible without jeopardizing the project.Can anyone offer advice or share their experience with:1.How to address the Stop Work Notice with the local authorities?

We had to move fast and initially decided to sell it, the relator who was helping us somehow convinced us we should make it a rental property......... and let her be our tenant (insert face palm here) so since we had no real estate experience and we were already moved away, we agreed.

Just to clarify, when I say timeline dates I don't mean just "project to be completed by (Date)"That's required by FHA/Lender, but in my 20 years of construction experience not nearly what you need haha. 

I have met a few folks recently who are active in that market and I am planning on following up and seeing what their experience has been.

If so, how was the experience ? 

The unique thing about this platform is that you can actually search reviews from BP members and interact with them about their experience with that particular QI.

I look forward to reading more of your experiences.  

We do this for brand new investors with no experience.
