EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Offer contracts generally have language in them already that incorporates this stuff (or at least they have blank spots for your agent to fill in these requests), you should be able to talk to your agent if you have any questions about how this all works in your area.

I would also say that going through the ADU process is a good (but expensive) education.

Right now that is primarily education and finding deals.We don't have any liquid capital.

@Matthew Paul:Without getting too technical here, most general contractors actually incorporate and provide their services through an entity operating as a business or company of some sort.. so its not clear what your initial point is.

What I liked about his was it was focused more on the actions to take rather than just education.

Please think about this between now and then; bare bones, you need some education and access to tolls (assessor data and bulk mail printing) to but property right.

@Michael LindeYou will need to get educated on it - start by going over to the tax lien and mortgage note forum here on BP and watch some videos on YouTube.Full disclosure - unless you have a few hundred grand to invest notes probably not what you’re gonna be looking for.

You don't want everything to pass to them when they turn 18, however, you do want them to be able to access funds for education or professional use.

@Jayden Gales- thanks ..if you havent already done so - get  formally pre approved with a lender that offers the programs you are considering ...getting pre approved  will help you become educated / prepared  for the next step .
