Look for areas that are going to generate a lot of visits year round.

However, this is a totally new space to me- Any advice for how to go about looking for a lawyer who works with individual investors and won't break the bank?

If you’re concerned about paying personal capital gains tax, remember that flipping the property means you’ll take the profit all at once, while with BRRRR, you can defer some taxes and have the property generating income.So, here’s what I’d do in your shoes:If you can make a decent profit flipping and then use that cash to roll into your next investment, you might be better off taking the cash, at least for the first project.

This being said, putting tons of pressure on the team to generate more investor leads.

What I have learned is the usefulness of the lead-generating sites is very market-specific.If I were to estimate, in the last two years, my lease-ups came from Craigslist (20%), Apts.com (20%), Zillow (30%) and FB (30%).Most of the responses from my ads come from Zillow (40%) and FB (50%), but most of those leads are woefully unqualified (especially FB). 

My goal is to create generational wealth for my family and to eventually have the financial freedom to say "yes" to travel adventures as a family.

I’m always eager to expand my knowledge and network with like-minded individuals.

This is one of the reasons I have felt my investments there are safe: there is so much money there from both domestic and international investors, individual and institutional, that Tulum won't just go away. 

If your Alabama LLC conducts all operations and income generation strictly in Alabama, you may not need to register it as a foreign LLC in California.
