I do think that meeting with a tax professional could be helpful. 

It got me thinking:In your opinion, what are the minimum requirements someone should meet before raising money from investors (beyond family and close friends)?

I guess I'm not as keen nor experienced enough in knowing if they will be able to EXIT future deals now because they have only proven it once which isn't a long track record at all... it maybe is a future indicator of their inability to BRRRR for their LP investors.

Live in one side for a year to meet your residence requirement for the loan.3.

I’m interested in networking and meeting up as well. 

You'll meet a lot of other investors in the Cleveland area here. 

We had about 3 good weeks and I was doing the video courses and the things my personal mentor had gone over with me when right before our 4th meeting she texted me to never contact her again and she no longer worked for the company.

Suburbs to the east, like Ooltewah and Collegedale, are more affordable—if you’re lucky, you can find homes that are right around your budget.Deals that meet the 1% rule are likewise present in the market, but again, you’ll probably have to do some digging.

Then you'll need to find land, acquire it, find a spec home buyer and set up meetings to design plans or buy a set online with mods.

Go meet with your broker, explain what you want to do, ask your broker for direction on what you can do, how to do it etc..
