@Keegan FelixKansas City and Cleveland are ideal for new real estate investors seeking affordable markets with potential.

Readers should seek professional advice.

I'm considering engaging with this business and am seeking assurance regarding their legitimacy.

You don't seek why, you just do. 

I understand this may prevent me from getting the absolute best terms on a HML, so I'll turn to professional before I settle on a lender, but I'd like to start the shopping process on my own.

We need:1️⃣ Guidance on purchasing real estate as a group.2️⃣ Expertise in establishing housing co-ops.If you’re a real estate, legal, or co-op professional—or know someone who is—please let us know.

If it's managed well by a professional, you are more likely to succeed, grow an appreciation for it, and maybe take over management some day. 

It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.

Quote from @An Lan: I am not a professional real estate investor, I just invest in houses as a safe asset and do not choose to rent them out.

If you want to find out how much equity you have to see if that’s an option for you, connect with a real estate agent and ask for a professional equity assessment report (PEAR).Who knows, you may find out you have enough equity to buy your next place outright– and with today’s mortgage rates, not having to take out a home loan is pretty incredible.
