Just be sure to be prepared to get legal advice if you run into grey areas that you are not well versed in to avoid legal implications.

U will never get a dime of rent and you are going to have to probably do as you stated find your own attorney.. its better to leave property vacant than to rent to folks that have terrible credit.

Build a team of professionals, prepare your finances, and carefully select a property near high-demand areas like hospitals or corporate hubs.

While I do not have an official W-2 currently, I do have a steady income, great credit, and have money saved as well from working since I was 13 years old.I relate to Ian Kay in his journey but also am very determined to make my goals/dreams a reality this year by July 2025.

@Kyle TrotmanI would suggest speaking to local banks, and credit unions.

Appraisals came back awesome my credit score came back 720.

You may need some help with capital, or credit, or both.

More preparation on the parcels i'm working on.

You may need to pay points if you put less than 20% down, but lots of no point options once you get to 20% down as long as you have decent credit scores.
