I can't suggest one b/c I don't have any good experiences with them.

Maybe.I can't say for MA because I'm not licensed there, but generally you have to read what the letters say. 

Read your insurance policy before making a claim as I think most do not cover long-term damage especially if it could be easily found and mitigated.

Hi everyone,I'm planning to get into fixing and flipping properties in Oakland, California, and I'm looking for advice from those who have experience in the area.

The owners may agree to carry part of the financing, but you won't need them to stick around to transition operations.After acquiring the properties and assets you wish, you would either run your own business, or part-out and resell some of the assets.From your post, it does not sound like parting out the properties is a viable path and where you admit to having no experience with vacation rentals or the resort business, you might want to explore purchasing the business with the current owners hanging around for a bit to help you get your feet wet.Regardless of approach, it needs to have legs to be worth pursuing.

Even though I have no experience other than renting out and managing my first primary home, my interest in real estate pushes me to educate myself upon this topic.With a very high barrier to entry where I live in Northern Virginia, especially for first-time investors just starting out with small budgets, that is why I have been focusing on out-of-state investing in real estate and also have been reading a lot about the BRRRR strategy.

It is also a low-risk way to learn all the principles of real estate investing with very limited risk, gain experience with evaluating, buying, repairing, renting and managing a property.

I'm fairly new to the real estate world with little experience across multiple areas.

Don in my experience with the 3 parks we owned.. owning the park homes was a huge time suck most of them are old and have tons of differed maintenance and parts are not available as easy.

I would love to work with someone in the industry that would be willing to provide an educational experience in exchange for sweat equity.
