My team and I are traveling next week to meet contractors; look at land for hotel development on the beach side. 

• Are there specific networking events or forums within the BiggerPockets community that you recommend?

I love Cross Country specifically because they can service their own loans meaning that they handle all the construction draws and payment processing.Plus, I like Homestyle over 203k because they don't have as strict of guidelines on what has to be renovated.

Our team’s expertise in evaluating similar homes ensured the seller agreed on a fair price, making this a seamless acquisition for Partner Driven and our partner, Billy Medlen.

You have a concept (investing in real estate), but you don’t have a specific plan. 

I have seen a tax attorney on YouTube specifically saying you can take a full year of depreciation even if you buy in December but all I see in the IRS publications indicates that you have to prorate based upon the time it was available to rent.is there a rule I am missing?  

Frankly, I'm not crazy about tenants messing with anything that has to do with connecting water that is always left on (ie dishwasher, washing machine) or electricity that needs to be specifically wired (ie range, dryer).

Gives you the highest chance of winning the offer with the seller and avoid all cash.If you have any specific questions feel free to reach out or email me I enjoy helping and talking REI.Thank you for this!!!

In terms of property value, I dont think it would have much of an impact as SRA really isnt classified as a crime specifically because of secular laws and such and the crime would be sa, murder, extortion etc..  

Hi Mike,I don't know the specific answer to your question, but the dirt cheap bare minimum 'online' brokerage that I've seen a lot of people use, after spinning their wheels and doing a bunch of research, is these guys.To align expectations: you get what you pay for, which in your case may end up being 100% perfectly fine.
