Prioritize your financial stability.

Great answers here.I'll throw one more in the pot: we help with this at STRLocator (finding STR, MTR and LTR properties that will cashflow according to your financial goals).You don't have to start with a mortgage or BRRR; you can start by arbitraging.

I heard about a camp for adults and kids that focuses on financial education.

Considering the high prices of other lots in the area, many have said I got a great deal.The land I bought has a 2-bedroom, 1-bath house that was listed as 550 sqft but is actually 750 sqft; the records just weren't updated with the city.

You're ready when you financially and emotionally sound, and you're really ready when you hit adversity.  

It may weed some out who were marginal financially.

Prioritize your financial stability.

I'd go with whatever is listed on the county tax records when finalized.

@Sephr BemanpourRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

An attorney can give his opinion as to what the odds are of the different ways a legal dispute can play out, but it’s the investors decision based on a cost/benefit/ risk analysis to decide how and of to proceed.There’s no way for anyone to render an opinion about what you “should” have done without (1) complete information as to the property being purchased and (2) complete information as to the risk tolerance and financial makeup of your investment group.Here’s my advice - don’t second guess yourself based on opinions of people who (1) don’t possess “all the facts” and (2) probably never acted as sponsors of a syndicated investment.
