Significant expertise in those areas will likely be prerequisites for a deal like the one you described.Generally, it's a smart move for beginners to start with beginner strategies (like a buy and hold LTR, or house hacking a single fam or small multi fam property).For a beginner, the deal you described is sort of like trying to ski down a double black diamond the first time you ever put on skis--the chances of disaster are very high, and the chances of success are almost non-existent.Give yourself the highest chance of success, and minimize the chances of failure by finding a strategy that fits your level of experience--if you're a beginner, don't try to execute a highly advanced strategy.

My favorite is the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (alternates every other month with their Worcester location, next Waltham meeting is May).
