Background:
Im a urologist from Canada. Met my husband in 2015 in SoCal and he moved back to Canada ...

Anyone able to provide some insight or have some referrals?

You are investing in the investment promoter in whom you have little recourse if things go wrong.

I’d also reach out to the Hancock County Planning Department to get a feel for how flexible they might be on replating and rezoning—better to get ahead early.For renovations, if you don’t have boots on the ground yet, ask for referrals through local investor-friendly agents.

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Jay Hinrichs, while I wasn't going to call them MLM, I did attend an Armando Montelongo (A&E's Flip this House from mid 2000's) seminar at a hotel conference room in 2007 or 08, which was the free funnel to spend $1,500 for a three day seminar or $25,000 for an in-person mentorship.I have seen similar promoted with Christina and Tarrek from Flip or Flop more recently.I didn't start realizing how profitable education can be until the last 5 or so years.  

But there will be fewer of them, they’ll be paid for direct client service instead of self-promotion, and there will be many fewer big earners and low earners.

**Limited Flexibility in Marketing:** The program often promotes fix-and-flip strategies, which may not align with everyone’s investment goals.

@Jay Check Are you a real account or is this just another promotion for a lying guru?

Any thoughts, suggestions, or referrals on what first step to take are appreciated. 

I asked for referrals from other investors and he said it would take a few days for him.
