I am a USMC veteran so I have some flexibility with finance options and I am looking to utilize all resources I can to build and scale my portfolio.

Let's say you want to build a lead list of 1,000 physically distressed homes in a target zip code with a distress rate of 10%.

@Yamin Htet just make sure you don’t leave the building if you’re looking to rent less than 28 days.

I don't see how a closing attorney has any liability in closing these deals unless their underwriter specifically forbids them and wont write title insuranceWill be interesting to see how it all plays out I think I will call the closing attorney I know well and has closed my new builds in Charleston and get his take on it..

Something to consider is with $30K (which is no small amount of money), you will need to factor in closing costs and repairs (unless you can negotiate with the Sellers). 

In most cases, new retail leases come with some amount of concessions from the Landlord which primarily consist of a Free Rent Period to allow the new Tenant to build out their space and a Tenant Improvement Allowance which is a pre-negotiated amount of money that the Landlord contributes to the Tenant to assist with the cost of the build out of the space. a Free rent period can be anywhere form 1 month to 1 year (or more) and a Tenant Improvement Allowance could be $5.00 per square foot or $50.00 per square foot (and in some cases a LOT more).

Get rid of debt, build a budget, and save.

Also, since you'll be managing the properties remotely, building a strong team is important.

If it was me, once you've repaired it and rented it out, refinance or HELCO the building. 

I’m mainly looking to see if anyone had tips on building a strategy for out-of-state investing.
