I have a 3-step process I put them through before we actually agree to work together. 

That would be step 1 for me.

If anyone who is knowledgeable, please chime in so I can relay such information to my friend so they can have proper step to follow.

Has anybody ever purchased foreclosure land from the courthouse to build on?If so, how have y’all figured out level 3 soils tests before purchasing the land at auction?I can do all the due diligence beforehand, except...

Yes, the BRRRR method can work with multifamily properties, and many investors have done it successfully.

The buyer decides where they want professional help, and what steps they want to do themselves.Have you found anyone offering flat fee buyer brokerage/agency in your area?

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

Any advice from a well-versed individual on what step to take first?

Hi @Jacob Dalton,Thanks for sharing your situation—it’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into this decision, and I can understand why you’re concerned given the challenges of being a landlord in Cook County.Screening tenants is definitely a key step, but I agree it’s not foolproof.

I really like LLCs compared to corporations because of the free stepped up basis for passing property to my children.
