@Morgan TondreThank you for recommending me as someone who can help @Cole Dobbs

We recommended to our friends who are also investing in Fund III.

Any recommendations are appreciated.

Any recommendations on lawyers to talk to that can assist in advising on an LLC fund (if needed) and how? 

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.

I recommend two accounts: checking and savings.

I've found that there are markets that have a balance of decent cashflow and decent appreciation and that's the type of market I eventually decided to invest in.I'm not too familiar with the different markets down there but I'd highly recommend looking into Candor Realty. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Maybe I am not familiar the practice in your area.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.
