I started a new post asking people's thoughts about insurance costs in your local area and specifically costs to rebuild and other challenges:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/95/topics/1227051-insur...

Raising money is all about marketing and sales (not real estate specific) so either hire marketing agency and read sales books, or hop on some LinkedIn courses on marketing and sales.Not sure the legal structure to use: talk to accountants and attorneys.Need deal flow: talk to brokers and go to a lot of networking events.Lending terms: start calling banks and loan brokers.From there, it is all risk mitigation. 

That’s okay—what’s important is understanding the "why" behind your investment decisions.While your accountant’s suggestion is a great starting point, make sure investing aligns with your own goals and situation—not just because someone else is enthusiastic about a particular strategy.

Congrats on getting started, I'm out in Spokane if you ever need anything!

I work from home and my hours are very flexible, so I can do all these "busy" activities on my listings. 

A full back office. 3 workbooks to use in the 40 hour class. 

We didn't even notice the amazing fresh flower arrangement for almost 24 hours!  

@Michael BaumI asked them (via vrbo) what specifically they would like to joke about after thanking them for the inquiry and that we would be happy to answer any questions they may have - and no response from them after 8 hours of me responding to them.

Most larger communities will have a Homebuilders Association, i would start networking to find a builder that can finance the construction.
