You can bargain shop for an $80K property that cash flows $300/month.

all of the things your talking about are readily available to you with simple google searches etc.PS BP has work shops that cost some money I have not been but I suspect those would be well worth the money..

Not that these aren't needed but you can shop around.

I currently have 3 LTR and soon will be remodeling a small family-owned shopping center in Wimberley, Texas. 

If you have the time to shop around, first look at your local consignment shops, nextdoor or facebook.

It was a pizza shop and now is a blank slate. 

Shopping around, I also spoke with a second lender.

If you’re nervous, dig into local investor clubs.. from what I’ve heard, even in London you’ll find groups meeting over coffee, talking shop, and sharing leads.
