I want to be able to find potential markets/listings nationally based on the return. 

They collect EMD from multiple potential buyers - then transferred the EMD into an interpleader accounts in hopes of absconding with all the EMD. 

@Jonathan Klemm Plans are to either house hack again, potentially live-in flip or maybe venture into 5+ unit commercial

By providing an overall guide to the area, potential tenants will realize that there are many things to do and places to go, increasing the desirability of the property.This is a summary of the study.

I'd focus on deciding what you want to do (flip-high risk, but potentially high return...or large loss; short term rental-more work, but higher return than long term rental; long term rental-less work than the other two, but lower return).Once you've decided which you want to do, then focus on getting the best house to meet your goal. 

Here are five dangerous provisions to watch for in an Operating Agreement:Dangerous Provisions to Watch:Authority to incur debt without investor approvalPower to make loans to other entities/projectsAbility to cross-collateralize with other propertiesPermission to use investor capital for other venturesCommingling of funds across different projectsWhy These Are Potential Ponzi Indicators:• New investor funds could be used to pay existing investors• Project-to-project lending can mask poor performance• Cross-collateralization puts your investment at risk for others' failures• Commingling enables masking of financial problems• Lack of project segregation enables fraudulent schemesProtective Measures to Look For:Strict single-purpose entity requirementsProject-specific bank accountsDebt limitations and investor approval requirementsProhibited related-party lendingClear fund segregation requirementsProfessional Best Practice:Request bank statements showing separate accounts for each project.

The benefits of Kissimmee for a newbie is analyzing property potential is very easy - you will have a ton of carbon-copy comps to look at and the online estimators like Airdna can actually be pretty accurate. 

What are the next steps---BRRR seems like a good method for this- as theres potential for long term renters(near elementary and highschool)Step 1- look for a hard money loan(will they also cover construction?

Again, if your $250k is true, and includes all the electrical upgrades, new plumbing runs, potentially new foundation pour (since I assume the existing garage slab is not capable of supporting a new two story house), I am guessing since I don't know the market, but assume you will have a lot of equity by completing the project.

Tip: Take a couple videos of the place fully furnished before anyone moves in and send them as video tours to potential tenants on FurnishedFinder when they ask to see the place.
