I started with flipping properties, then started doing direct-to-seller marketing, and transitioned our operation to wholesaling only.

It is not a one day process...just be ready to spend some time on this phase before you start construction/rehab on your future deals.Please share your building permit  experience in City of ATL  ..............................................

I’m trying to get my first single or small multi family RE investment started. 

Of those three, they started moving on one.  

Hi I’m a multi family investor I would like to start investing in commercial and industrial properties.

Next time don't let them get "several" months behind, you need to start the process as soon as they are late.

The rehab funds are for completed work only so your parents would need to front the contractor like 15k let's say to get started and then they get their deposit back at the end of the project because they added 15k to the rehab funds with their deposit so 15k will be left over in the escrow account when job is done. 

When things get dicey, experience starts to matter, just like in aviation.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

I would get a roofing contractor out there to pull back that roof and start to source the probable, and you'll need to mitigate that issue then move to the interior work to get the drywall/insulation fixed.
