At least until I get one property under my belt and a credit score established.

It is akin to suggesting the seat belt law is the only regulation involved in driving.The rules we should be discussing are Regulation X (RESPA) and Regulation Z (TILA).  

I've read a lot of redevelopment news (Mercedes Benz Stadium, Turner Field/GA State redevelopment plan, SW belt line expansion, etc.) for the southern and southwestern areas of the city.I'm interested in both single family and small multifamily homes that I will buy and hold as rentals.

Hey BP,I am looking to get my first deal under my belt but before I close on it do anyone know of any real estate attorney that have good knowledge about creative real estate investing and any good title companies that does the same in the NYC area? 

5) I would get one property under your belt before you think about scaling your business up.  

Congrats, I've been around here a couple years and have a couple rehabs under my belt now.  

The crawl space expansion can be a project saved for the future once you have added equity and time under your belt in the property. 

Hi @Eric Baum Thanks for the post - I think I´m in a pretty similar situation in that I´ve been in business a while and have gotten a few deals under my belt through personal cash and straight equity JVs with other firms & individuals. 

There may have been 1 or 2 people we've purchased from that didn't hold any property or have any flips under their belt, but they had developed a strong team to make a deal work & would make the team available to you; i.e get a bid from a contractor to verify the renovation costs if you didn't have your own contractor.  

I am thinking as a buy/hold plan for this, also give me some more experience as far as starting my property management llc.... get some more smaller properties under my belt.....
