Me and my wife spoke to an immigration lawyer yesterday, but the answer was pretty much "hire me first"Any guidance/advice would be greatly appreciated!

You hire them.

We've been working well with them and see ourselves hiring them as a GC.We have 100k left to fundraise but plenty of investor pipeline to get us there.

It might take a couple of years for you to really be in a place to go on your own, but a mentorship, internship, or even just getting hired at a larger flipping company would be a huge value to you just getting into this all!  

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

What you would presumably do is find land, buy it, ask for a construction permit, hire an architect to make plans and hire a builder (the developer) for the construction.

Are you acting as the GC or will you be hiring a GC?

I have recently been applying to jobs that teach and train real estate agents to wholesale, looks like it could a good opportunity on account that they have the capital. Im curious to see if anyone here has had experi...

Had I hired a professional, it would have been done in a month and the extra five months of rent income would have paid for the contractor, saving me six months of nights and weekends.

If you are new, you want the teaching type.You can hire individual specialists in asset protection, legal documents, estate planning, and so on, but my belief is that it's better to get that in a training program focused on real estate investing by investors.
