I simply thought when I'm ready, I'll open a bank account and transfer it over.

Building a long term relationship with a reliable private lender will get you further in the game than doing too much shopping.

That's what I am focusing on right now is building my brand and finding new ways to get our teams message across. 

We're in it for the long haul and hope to build generational wealth and financial freedom for our family through real estate. 

I have a $20,000 debt to the IRS, which I am paying off at $381 per month due to high taxes declared two years in a row to qualify for a mortgage.My goal is to build a portfolio of properties that pay for themselves.

Have a property (new build) in North East SA, rented for a year & unable to rent for almost ~10 months now, selling in this market would incur > 100K loss as impossible to compete with builders.

So you have to spend a significant amount of upfront money to remodel and often times build a pool.

There are plenty of benefits associated with building strong realtor relationships, but you will be sent a ton of "land development" opportunities and most will trip you up if you aren't careful.

Read about finding off market deals and marketing to them; read about making offers and estimating rehab costs; read about building a buyers list; read about the analytics of a good rental property of flip property.

I would also need assistance with building the right team, which consist of a great lender, realtor (that has experience w/out of state investors) property manager, contractors, etc.Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
