The situation allows for an excellent opportunity to work with a property manager and build trust.I am looking to gradually build and scale my real estate portfolio in Atlanta by purchasing one property each year.

You would need to build a schedule around your job.

Is the property just a regular-style house or something you can build an experience around?  

My name is Bryan, and I’m eager to start building wealth through real estate.

Seeing as you mentioned you have very little liquidity in after-tax and savings accounts, I'd likely recommend focusing on building up a buffer of accessible and liquid dollars in an after-tax brokerage account prior to maxing out a Mega Backdoor Roth.

Mexico is already building tent cities to house them.

Our team buys the properties and converts them and manages them so it has been a great learning experience seeing all three phases from taking down a project, renovating the building then managing the lease up.

Quote from @Joe Paasch: I have joined this site to gain important incites, discussions and plans to build a successful portfolio.  

So focus on lead generation.Once you have that covered, then yes you do need to have a bit of insight on the workings of the transaction.But all this should be easy to figure out the moment you keep commonsense in play.Start with getting in touch with a wholesaler-friendly attorney for your closings (if you are in an attorney state), and build a relationship with him (that is also what I did)..He should guide you along the way as you go.

One more reason why people should stop looking for the easy path to building wealth.Increase earnings, reduce expenses, save, and invest.
