I'd think about creating a very specific buy box and show why agents would be interested in working with you.

When creating an application, there is no preview what so ever.

Typically its done for open space or use for community property (ie. fire station location or other county use) and typicaly would assist in increasing tax base.  

Once you're ready, create a goal (e.g., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

I cannot assist w/ the acquisition of the property but do have an FHA product that is specific for home improvements.

While there's no strict requirement to match the original mortgage terms, reinvesting the full proceeds without financing or using leverage to enhance returns is key.If you don't reinvest the full amount, any shortfall ("boot") will be subject to capital gains tax, and depreciation recapture may apply.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

This creates a large negative equity position.  

I would highly recommend you create an LP agreement.

We knew starting out we wanted to create systems and RentRedi met our needs. 

Do my 3 associates need to create a LLC to be able to do these renovations or can any individual do them, as long as proper permits are pulled?
