It gave me a solid foundation for understanding how to manage contractors and deal with the logistics of projects.

Any recommendations for contractors in the Atlanta area that preferably work with out-of-state investors?

I'm a product of BP through and through, was on these forums figuring out how to house hack after we already were in contract on a duplex, all the way through making it the foundation of my current business. 

@Steve Smith do you create an LLC to be the beneficiary of the trust?

@Rene Brodowsky appraisers, like most workers, will take the path of least resistance if allowed.Appears they are using an AI system to valuate your home.As suggested already, you may want to request an actual appraisal, which you will have to pay for, and send your own comparables to Huntington Bank to try to guide the appraiser.Otherwise, you may need to try a different lender.

Quote from @Arun Maheshwari: Hi,Does the bank owned foreclosure property allows to put Inspection contingency for big issues like plumbing, eletricity etc.ThanksIf it is bank owned and the foreclosure has taken place - possibly but they would make you responsible to turn on power and water and turn it back off.

Quote from @Julian Dragos: If you convert to an LLC, everything should be changed into the name of the LLC.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.There are over 20 real estate accountants on this site.

I was hoping this was going to happen so I wouldn't have to take time out of my day to send in the BOI on all of my entities!
