I am interested in starting out with the fix & flip and BRRRR methods in the middle Georgia area.

Quote from @Prashanth Mahakali: Hello,Good luck with the first steps toward development.

It works like this:(1) Save up enough money for a down payment(2) Buy a single family home that you will Airbnb/VRBO(3) Ensure the “average period of customer use” is <=7 days(4) Materially participate (5) Cost segregate the property, resulting in large depreciation deductions(6) Use the losses from step 5 to offset your W2 incomeWhat makes this possible is that operating an STR is considered “non-passive.”

Right now, you are thinking of yourself and how to get you ahead and not stepping back and looking holistically at the process.

These steps will keep your project on track and make remote management smoother!

Decide on what you'd like to focus on as a first step. 

They should have good recommendations.If you are trying to do the BRRRR Method, or some other advanced method, now it get's a little more difficult. 

If they are, then the enemy method works.

Not only that he gets stepped up basis and sell with no tax  double check that with accountant but I think that is correct.. then take the cash put it in 5% gov bonds for now then get up to speed and see what you really want to do. 

Like Patrick mentioned, I’d say starting with a long-term rental might be a better first step.
