I will be looking for passive investors, real estate attorney, real estate tax accountant, a property manager, and a broker specializing in multifamily real estate.Currently I am an engineer at an aerospace company and I am looking to make the transition to real estate investing.

I specialize in Wholesaling, Flipping Tax Deed Land Lots, Multiple Choice Offers and Seller Finance Rental sandwich deals where both the Seller and the new tenants pay me monthly, leaving me with a little cash flow and a big pay-off at the end of the Seller Finance Period when either the tenants use their option to buy or I refi and sell to a new Buyer.

I'm an investor and Real Estate Investing Coach who specializes in Wholesaling, Multiple Choice Offers, Flipping Tax Deed Land Lots and Seller Finance Rentals where both the Seller and the new Lease Option tenants pay me, leaving me with a little cash flow while I wait for the mortgage balance to go down and the property value to go up during the 1 to 3 yr Seller Finance period.

Reason this seems important is that it would help determine strategy of a larger vs. smaller downpayment to increase cash flow or increase leverage. 2nd Question) I've read about "special allocation" of taxes that allows for the tax gains/losses to be distributed in a manner that is not equal to the ownership stake.

Find an attorney that specializes in Real Estate Law specifically and ask how many clients they have and how many transactions they worked on last year.

I'm currently overseas with the military but will soon also be investing in Oklahoma real estate. 

a.Are there special appraisals needed?

It's a true niche.There are very few appraisers who specialize in MHPs and they are strictly looking at either land value for comps and rent or Income approach (10% Cap Rate).  

I could have bought more properties with that amount of money but this house will always be very special to me and is renting for $1,200 so nothing to complain about really.
