My main goals with these initial projects are:1.Gaining valuable insights into the local market.2.Getting hands-on experience with out-of-state investing, particularly when it comes to remodels and managing from afar.3.Testing the entire BRRRR process to see if it’s the right strategy for me long-term.If all goes well, I’d love to scale up and explore multi-family projects.

Any recommendation on a good QI who can help me though the process?

I currently work with a handful of investors and love the process A-Z.

I've been reasonably happy with this so far, since it's made the process fairly passive. 

In 2020, it came to a near complete stop.Banks go through the foreclosure process typically taking 4-8 months.

In that case, would the renting process be a bridge to help you retain the home for future personal use? 

They listen to what you suggest and continually improving their software and processes.

Some thoughts that go through my head......Who do you contact to get current values, after renovation values to see if this process is even worth it? 

Quote from @Michael Overall: Good day, If an investor has 10 rentals and wanted to over time sell them and put the money tax free from a 1031 toward a large purchase is there a process to do that? 

Licensed contractors have more of their "shtuff" together and thus are better at their job and naturally will cost more.
