Hey James - Happy to connect and take a deeper dive into this.

I'm located in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area and am open to properties basically anywhere in southern Michigan (anything south of Muskegon from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron is fair game imo.)I now have a fairly large nest egg of cash beyond all of my other investments (stocks, bonds, treasuries, crypto) and I want to turn that cash into a real estate investment or investments and I think my deep background in tech, systems, and marketing should be able to help me substantially.It seems to me like BRRRR on multifamily units makes the most sense, but I'm open to suggestions.I'm basically retired at this point as the only work I do each week is 3-4 hours of consulting for larger tech companies and I'm on a couple advisory boards.What are the best first steps in building a team and creating the systems necessary to start making deals?

Let’s dive into it.Potential consequences of working with an unqualified firm:Missed opportunities: Firms that are inexperienced may overlook numerous components that are eligible to be reclassified as they lack the knowledge or don’t perform a thorough analysis.This reduces the amount of potential deductions which also reduces your potential tax savings!

I would also caution you to do a deeper dive into wholesaling.

Congrats on diving head first into STRs. 

Once they dive into it, they realize the difficulties.

However I'd do a deeper dive into these since some of them hold more functionalities than others.

I love where your head is at about giving back to your parents & others.....good things are bound to come your way if you put your head down and dive into real estate head first.
