I’m looking for someone to start planning out the next couple of years with.

It is hard to get started and even more complicated if you begin as a passive investor looking for a turnkey opportunity hundreds of miles from where you live.

Thanks,Hey Joel,If you are tight on PITI, then I usually recommend looking into an interest only loan, maybe on a 5-10 year IO plan, to lower your payment and see if you can squeeze it in.Plus, rates are starting to dip a little bit, so it makes it a little more doable, especially if you just do a rate and term refinance to help keep your rate lower.

When it comes to foreclosure info broken down by state, I have found this site to be helpful: https://www.realtytrac.com/rea...As for licensing info, the NMLS is probably your best starting point. 

I believe the only way to get somewhat solid protection in this scenario is to have the title AND the loan in the LLCs name from the start (not in your name and then later quitclaiming it).

 @Curtis Tillmon It sounds like you have more first hand knowledge than me.

If you need any help or have someone more hands on and local, please reach out! 

I want to get started in the RE space and get under the wing of someone more experienced in fix and flips.

I wanted to ask and start a conversation about what additional/creative ways people have used to increase rental income or ROI on a property as a whole (such as ADU, converting garages, Airbnb, certain high ROI rehabs).

A very rocky start tbh.
