I am looking to begin working with investors and eventually start my won portfolio! 

How do I start the process to make it legal?  

Rehabbing properties and building a portfolio of rentals are two avenues I’m considering to get started.

What companies do you use?

Often, states will provide child support calculators, which are a great starting tool for those strictly looking for an estimation; these calculators tend not to get into the nitty-gritty of finances, however, as they don’t factor in your specific circumstances.

-Should I use my attorney for closing or still get a closing company?

I spent 14 years as a CFO/CPA for a $300 million farmland management and equipment auction company in North Dakota.

As Nathan suggested go to your insurance company... they will go after the person that caused it.

It took me a couple of years to finally take action and start my real estate investing journey, but I continue to use BP as my #1 go-to resource.

Start by normal DD and circle back eventually?
