In my experience, it is worth simply reaching out to your realtor first. 

Too many are locking up properties at retail prices and tacking on outrageous assignment fees, leaving no room for investors to profit.

Me being me, I simply tugged on the door and ripped out the bottom hinge from the door.

Start small, ensure your numbers (purchase + rehab + holding + selling costs) leave room for profit, and build a reliable team (contractor, agent, lender).For financing, work with lenders who specialize in fix-and-flips. 

I would like to purchase a structured course and have narrowed down my options to Seth William's REtipster masterclass, Joe McCall's simple land flips course, and Jack Bosch's Land Profit Generator.

If you are new, be sure you can raise the funds before proceeding.In my opinion, you are going to have a hard time raising money with a 6% pref and 70% of the profits after that unless you have a lot of newbie investors in your Rolodex. 

They're simply the BEST!

If you have questions or simply would like to brainstorm ideas about cohosting, MTRs, or real estate investing from a regulatory standpoint, feel to reach out!

Thats a great profit for a first time. 

A PM offers so many additional services in addition to things you cannot do yourself - like simply having a 3rd party between you and the tenant.
