This community is full of knowledgeable investors who are eager to share insights and experiences to help you on your journey.To make the most of this platform, I recommend asking very specific, detailed questions.

@Jaxin Pierce I definitely recommend looking at turnkey properties for starters.

Tell her George at Illinois REIA recommended her.That being said perform your due diligence.

I recommend reaching out to the builders directly to negotiate any potential arrangements.

Not saying it can't be done at two separate title co's but it's a pain.....and I wouldn't recommend it just starting out. 

Does anybody have any recommendations on small/community banks that they like to work with?  

Then, for example if you don’t provide a fridge (which we recommend you do not), you will deduct the amount for the fridge as well.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

You might also meet title agents who have resources on, say, foreclosures or probates…and might recommend lenders who actually lend on more difficult projects (as the title companies also know which lenders can close and which are difficult).I also go visit open houses to see what sorts of finish to put on my renovations or to look for the next house or area in which to purchase.  

I'll send you a DM on a recommendation for a law firm a lot of our clients use.
