I'm working on a creative way to obtain the property with no money down, my plan is to fill the rentals once construction is completed, make monthly payments on the seller's 300 k construction loan with interest payments going to the seller, and refinance the property for the full asking price after 12 months.

Thanksappraisal 450, closing fee 195, credit report 28, doc prep fee 125, flood certification fee 9.50, lenders title insurance 156, processing fee 395, recording fees 60, renovation fees 600, settlement fee 700, tax service 78, underwriting fee 395, wire transfer 35

Nor obtain insurance cover, nor obtain financing...5.

What you need is money and the more the better.Knowledge of investing is easily obtained without having a carreer in the field.

Hire someone who is insured and bonded and insist on obtaining copies of insurance and bond certificates before paying a dime.  

I did the my homework on the property including running a prelim title search so a Quite Title action would have been obtainable.

My current goal is to begin obtaining small multifamily homes, du-quadplexes, aspiring to own a 30-50 unit apartment complex within 10 years.

I am in the process of getting a HELOC on my home as well in hopes to obtain my first fix and flip.

@Tom MattinsonIf you are looking for formal coursework or accreditation, the Real Estate Institute of Canada and BOMI/BOMA (See BOMA Nova Scotia) both offer education and certification for residential and commercial property management.

If the lien and documents filed to obtain the lien were filed incorrectly, then a lawyer may be able to invalidate the lien - but the cheaper option is just to pay it, get the lien removed, and move on.
