Hypothetically, you could acquire a killer deal that cash flows $200+ monthly.

I'm biased since I live in Cobb County, but markets such as Acworth, Kennesaw, and Cartersville could be options for you to explore.Furthermore, so you're aware, acquiring a fix-n-flip deal on-market is going to be difficult.

A smart seller should only seller-finance to someone with good credit, adequate reserves, a nice down payment etc. and underwrite the deal like a normal bank would, but I've been seeing more and more situations where unqualified buyers are acquiring properties this way. 

Make connections with lenders, contractors, agents, investors, and mentors to acquire valuable information.

Then find a job that I can work so we don’t start burning through our cash, and with the remaining cash we have, start to acquire a couple rental properties and maybe try to do 1-2 house flips a year.

Also, I don't see why you would take the risk of buying it in your own name and moving it into an LLC later...If it's a matter of the bank only taking your personal financial situation into account if you do it in your own name, I'd personally rather use hard/private money to acquire it, then refi with a bank once the property financials stand on its own.

Whether it's acquiring your first investment property, building a portfolio, or starting your own real estate investment firm, set clear objectives and take consistent action towards realizing your goals.I hope it helps!

This is standard procedure for real estate acquired via tax forfeitures (I no know), but the billable hours in the research part are high. 

What are some places and resources that I can refer to in order to help push it to investors/buyers who would be willing to acquire a fire damaged home?

Hey Russel,Admittedly, I do not know BAM; I am curious about what is driving your interest in/decision to invest whether its a preferred return or more back end equity, or just tax advantages.The market has definitely put some operators' projects in distress, and it is very unfortunate, but the flip side is that other operators are able to use stabilized financing to acquire these distressed assets.Our operator partners are seeing an almost 20% discount as they are acquiring assets today.
