They should be able to provide a general breakdown and ballpark cost but it probably takes 10+ hours to write up a detailed scope and why would they do that if you are just in the exploratory phase? 

Cory Harris would it be possible to buy a small property just in your name so she doesn’t feel as much at risk?

@Justin PhillipIt sounds like you are considering a “land contract” or “contract for deed” —have a Real Estate attorney review it for you as your experience level in this kind of transaction seems minimal.

Definitely not just in one country.

I always recommend investors set aside some money for each property just in case of a worst case scenario.I know many people who are starting out talk about different strategies to get their foot in the door and if you have listened to the Podcasts, you should know by now what Brandon Turner preaches.

But just in case they do not leave any advice is much appreciated!!

Have you done any of the direct mailing or just in general have you contacted property owners just from getting their info of the county tax site?

I would suggest keeping 3-5k per property in reserves just in case and then when you get more properties, 10-20 or more, you can lower it to 2-3k per property.

@Justin Cory I think part of my problem is I don't even know where to start. 

@Justin Cooper It's do-able but definitely wouldn't be easy.
