Starting a business is hard and most of them fail, so it's not you.

I've been in real estate for the past 7 years, and I got my start like so many other investors through reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad. 

Im also interested in starting to invest in housing whether that be flipping, BRRR, etcMy wife, 54, is newly positioned social worker and climbing to what she feels is her max with clients.

Just start with taking the content in and then team up with someone actively doing these deals.

Quote from @Daniel Tanasa: Hello Terry, If you're looking to find houses that are in pre-foreclousure you can use a website like www.foreclosure.com and you can get the list of properties and start marketing to them. 

Started using Xero last year, as better bookkeeping was needed a new acquisition with a partner. 

What is the standard process from start to finish so we can eliminate as much risk as possible?

Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

The clock starts when you settle on the relinquished property, 45 days and 180 days. 

There is no ability to set execution date to the future.The 90 day rule starts from the date the current deed was recorded to the date the contract with FHA buyer is signed.
