I'd recommend joining CTREIA or come to one of the events hosted by @Stephanie Cabral, @Brandon Rush, @Devin Peterson, @Ryan Luby. 

Cheers to the journey ahead!

Partner with your lender ahead of time on this just in case they have some crazy seasoning or other requirements.

And honestly, I think you're getting ahead of yourself.An all in price of under $40,000 and renting for $1,500?!

I want a head start in my career with mentors and other agents who’d be willing to accept an apprentice under their wing.

This is before the "Gold Rush" of building and immigration in Hillsborough and our surrounding Counties on the beaches.

I’m seeing price drops on nearly everything  Then you’ve got Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Orlando charging ahead at 15% appreciation.

They had nothing to give to their kids but bills while they could see others putting their children ahead of the curve.

It also sounds like they want "their" fees paid ahead of yours.

Hey @Michael Walley - I'd start off by saying, you are generally in a pretty good position if you haven't already paid him.FOR SURE YOU NEED TO GET LIEN WAVIERS if you have any indication that things could go sideways - don't make a payment til you get them.I would also ask for some type of breakdown of the scope of work you are paying for as you mentioned.Here in Chicago / Illinois a general contractor has 4 months to file a mechanics lien from the last time they were working on the job.I wouldn't rush to get an attorney.
