Keep learning, stay focused, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions or need further guidance.Good luck on your real estate investing journey If you have any more questions or need specific advice, feel free to ask.

Don't have any land specifically, although we've got a small town about 40 minutes north of Baton Rouge we've been investing in lately that seems to have some demand.

If there's any specific concerns I could address I would be happy to. 

3) Any specific states you recommend to set up any of these (Not sure where I'll be purchasing property yet, maybe Detroit, maybe Cleavland, maybe Augusta, maybe Des Moines, maybe Saint Cloud, maybe Memphis...)4) I already have a LLC based in Hong Kong (We call them limited companies, but the principle is the same).

You can find something in Durham and parts of Raleigh, specifically zips 27610, 27603, and parts of 27604 that would meet your criteria, however generally speaking most of the inventory that would fit what you are looking for in Raleigh or Durham would likely be in neighborhoods that I personally wouldn't want to invest in, C- to D type neighborhoods.

Get the details here I'm really looking forward to learning from some of the best real estate educators, and then being able to take those lessons to smaller accountability groups to be able to discuss putting them into action with motivated peers. 

And my #1 issue is I don't see any actions to address this in a meaningful, market specific manner. 

Make sure the estimates are very detailed (scope, SF, $/sf, schedule, etc) to ensure that there is a clear dilation between contract work and change orders.

Too often, I just hear people say they are "looking for a good deal", but defining that good deal in a specific area makes it much easier to spot.
