I have a diverse resume.

Once it's a bit more robust I'm happy to share my spreadsheet.

@Sam OwensSince you are a first time investor, I would suggest assigning the property "as is" instead of undertaking a rehab.Unless you have funds on your own or you personally know people with money, it will be hard to get money, even from private lenders, unless you are willing and able to put some "skin in the game" (money down.)You build up your experience and resume as an investor by doing a few wholesaling or assignment deals to start with.Also don't second guess what potential buyers would be willing to pay for the property.

As of now, we plan on having a robust written agreement and I'm looking for advice on the proper structure (LP, GP) and how it plays into the mortgage, liabilities, holding title, etc.Thank you in advance for your help!

Not to mention very robust methods to get to the owners in the first place.

Especially in these robust market times, quick movement is necessary!

Sellers can, however, expect to sell their properties for much more than they could just 12 months ago, and buyers can still expect to face multiple offers and rising prices.It’s important to understand that “normal” or “predictable” for the Austin metro market means a very robust seller’s market with low inventory and rising prices.

A broker who focuses on 100+ units won't serve you as well as one who specializes in smaller properties- Show you're serious right off the bat with a proof of funds, real estate "resume" of your past/current holdings, etc.- You can look on LoopNet for who has the most listings.

I've heard it's hard to even get your resume looked at without getting your Masters.

Wow..what a great resume, Im very happy for you that you have built the courage to step firward into the abyss that is real estate investing .. and finding BiggerPockets just gave you a huge advantage ..I hope you find it as useful as i did and do ..
