Ok so a diff path then my previous post.I also wanted to invest in real estate but just assume( and bet is probably true) that most of the people that find truly good investments have  either or all of the following the most "average joes" don't:1.

They repeatedly expressed dismay and said that very few people ask for a refund. 

That would bypass many city/state regulations that force landlords to rent to people here illegally. 

W2s, personal homes and K1s are usually straightforward and can be DIY-ed by most computer-savvy and financially-savvy people.

As with most people starting out - having the 20%-30% equity to put in the deal is the challenge. 

I would recommend going to some local real estate networking events and asking around in person who people like to work with for title.

I'm sure many people will disagree strongly. 

Typically these people are really forthcoming with info and can tell you.

I know many people who own real estate that are not citizens of the US.

Join one and start volunteering - it’s the best way to network and meet like minded people.
