I’d appreciate any feedback from those who can offer advice, but I’m also curious about what specific type of attorney or local resource I should reach out to for guidance.I’ve seen references to the Garn-St.

The reason I ask is if you're starting a "non-real estate" business, I'd recommend NOT using that business to buy any properties but use a real estate specific LLC to acquire your properties.

@Michelle Hardy Just adding, check your local city too for their requirements, many have specific requirements that the state may not have.Here in VT in the towns my properties are in, there is not a requirement to keep them separate or pay interest. 

I am actively looking to connect with investors interested in [mention specific types of investment opportunities,  single-family homes, multi-unit properties, distressed to expand my portfolio and deliver strong returns.

If however you don't have any specific goal or timeframe, I generally default to "long term". 

Quote from @Keyshawn Johnson: Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m currently living in Italy but will be moving to Florida soon, specifically to the Destin area.

It is hard to pin down specifically, but that seems to have been a factor in a few of the ARV-Appraisals that I've seen and has impacted the refinancing process.Otherwise, it has been a great market for my clients, great cash flows and repeatability which has really helped as they have scaled.

Have to agree with most here in that a SF-> duplex conversion needs some really specific qualities to be worth the squeeze.

If you have any specific questions feel free to reach out I am always happy to help other BP members.

I have been to the DFW area a few times but not specifically to these northern suburbs, but I know that DFW is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country with a robust economy, and I expect it to keep growing.
