I'm interested in all aspects of real estate but currently focused on wholesale and mobile home deals.

I am new to real estate and would like to learn about any aspects of it.

When you're ready, here are some good DO's and DON'Ts when getting bids:DOWrite out a detailed scope of work that outlines exactly what you want to do.Clearly define what (if any) materials you will buy and what the GC will supply.Get multiple competing bids.Check GC references, call past clients of theirs and possibly even ask to see their work.Closely analyze each bid and ask a lot of questions on things that are not spelled out.Ask each bidder for an anticipated schedule for the work to be completed.Ask each bidder about their desired payment terms.Sign a contract/written agreement with the successful bidder.DON'TWaste people's time if you're not serious about hiring them.Walk the job with competing bidders at the same time.Assume that all GC's will see the work happening the same way.Pay large sums of money in advance unless it's justified.

Both my wife and I look forward to getting to know our local and expanded BiggerPocket community.Our niches as we have (so far) defined, is buy and hold in the $150-250k range in North Dallas that will rent in the 1-2% range. 

I need an attorney that can help with closings but that's also open to help with legal aspects of owning a company of this type.

recently, a fellow investor and I were discussing the most difficult aspect of wholesaling.

One of the really appealing aspects of this deal was that it is a duplex with two groups of the same family living side by side.

We are looking at building a new team as we need to get our business back in order so we can better protect our assets here in the States and also lower our taxes as we have not focused on this aspect having lives and worked primarily overseas.

My initial strategy is defined: buy and hold multifamily investment properties that cash flow in and around where I live, Philadelphia, PA.
