I'm originally from the United Kingdom and now temporarily living on Long Island, NY before relocating near Savannah in the next few months.Once I move nearby, I'll be looking to acquire a portfolio of single family 2/3 bed ranches in A- to C+ areas (I can get far more specific if you guys need but thought that'll do for now!) 

This can be a great way to acquire properties more quickly, but make sure to do due diligence on any potential partner, and expect them to do the same to you. 

The big players and the largest real estate funds and acquirers are large organizations that absolutely care about what the pedigree of its employees looks like. 

No I’m not but I’m currently in the beginning process of acquiring one

We are looking to acquire some out of state beach town properties to turn into airbnbs to diversify our 'types' of rentals. 

@Diana Martinez I own 4 houses in Austin, Texas and I’m getting ready to acquire another.

., or if I do acquire it, that I won't understand it; also that I won't be able to recognize what is normal/laziness versus sketchy.)Is it appropriate to use my realtor on any leads that I want to pursue?

Perhaps you want to escape the 9-5, but having salaried income is a huge asset when you're first acquiring properties.

We acquired the deal through syndication and are the operators of the deal.

If you will you debt to acquire the real estate, it must be non-recourse financing.
