In the same amount of work I could find an undervalued deal in my market through existing channels.

I graduated college may of 2024 and was only working part time through college not making enough to be lendable obviously.

I would say my end goals would be some financial independence and also some business knowledge through transactions.

This would allow us to come to the table with less funds out of pocket on the front end when starting construction.Is the best way to complete the transfer of ownership through a traditional sale registered with the county? 

Make sure the buyer will go through with the sale before you worry about the timing.

A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

I am unsure if I could purchase a property through an LLC/SL based in Spain and what would be the taxation using this system.

If they "sold" the house to HUD, it likely went through foreclosure, nobody bid on it, and it became an REO.

You probably can find a good one through BP. 

Whether that's through house hacking or just another set of units I hold, I plan to purchase again this year. if there are tips on how to build a trusted network of people on here, I would welcome that.
