Save your seed money and invest in a different program if you need the hand holding.

After experiencing first hand how difficult it is to handle lower tier neighborhood sales, why even consider renovating the remaining properties? 

Hands down the most powerful advantage you have is house hacking leveraging owner occupied loans.  400k property in FL will cost you $100K using 25% down

A lot of your other mid-sized cities have similar risk profiles (dominated by a single industry or a handful of companies). 

They have zero accountability once you hand over your credit card.This is not specialized knowledge- it is free that you can find anywhere- free on social media, YouTube, bigger pockets, podcasts.

@Minji Kimhi. i was glad to see you're looking to try to stay hands-on. 

That said, expect to deal with a fair amount of fluff leads.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing and the execution seems poorly planned and communicated.

If you know of anyone looking for a hand in Central Texas (Austin or Hill Country), feel free to shoot me a DM here!

Let me summarize this for you again, I am not seeking a legal advice, I need hand holding to confirm I am reading the semantics of the deal properly !
