This is my first time handling such a transaction, and I want to ensure everything is done correctly.Does anyone have recommendations for a good real estate attorney who is experienced in these types of deals and offers reasonable rates?

Cash flow is definitely the biggest challenge; both in terms of finding properties to buy that cash flow with a loan on them and just company wide given interest rates and labor/material is up and, at least where I'm at in Jackson County, MO, taxes are way up too. 

It's the boring places that probably won't appreciate above the rate of inflation that will provide real month to month income. 

Rates were still extremely low, which made both properties extremely lucrative with cash flow.

5) What Placement Fee did you negotiate with your PMC?

Would the investor have to use an assignment contract between him and new end buyer to collect the mark-up fee aka assignment fee at closing?

Do the numbers make sense with each and all interest rates? 

This is their full time job and they collect a fee but are still able to pass along strong deals to end buyers.

I’m not sure who paid legal fees but they must have been significant. 

To maximize your investment, use financing options like FHA or conventional loans, analyze deals based on cash flow and cap rates, and network with local investors through REI meetups and BiggerPockets.Good luck!
