Additionally, since we are out of state (Washington) and unable to do walkthroughs of prospective properties, Chris has been great about taking videos for us, which has been very helpful. 

Continuously educate yourself through books, podcasts, and videos, such as BiggerPockets Podcast and YouTube channels.

Get informed about real estate investing by watching videos.

It even comes with training videos

Despite paying a substantial fee, I found that beyond basic instructional videos and repetitive weekly calls, there was little substance to aid my learning.

As you learn go to meet ups, try to network/glean from experienced people and listen to podcasts/videos. 

We also can't have renters dealing with the humidifiers as it is a mold problem/foundation issue if it isn't taken care of.We are taking pictures and videos of everything, we have multiple professionals that have documented everything (and told us to lawyer up) and have neighbors that we have already had agree to discuss their  drainage problems when we get a lawyer.

Additionally, you'll be making a lot of decisions on the plans today that will drastically affect the cost of your build later, so get a GC lined up now that you can run questions past like gas in the building or all electric, if it's a duplex how do I get away with no house meter for the electric so I only have two meters and not a house meter you have to pay for, etc.

Good day everyone,I am very interested in buying land to build a cabin(or a few for vactional renting ) as the summer getaway, must be closer to nature and quite close/to a good small town.

Video tours of the properties help this.
