Hey everyone, my name is Kyle and I am 22 years old from Howard County Maryland.

You simply need to know where the tenant works (which it sounds like you do since you’re asking specifically about wage garnishment as a means to collect on your judgment.)In my state (California), once I have the judgment, I would need three things to enforce it via a wage garnishment order: 1) Writ of Execution, 2) Application for Earnings Withholding Order (the wage garnishment order), and 3) to pay a fee to the Sheriff’s Dept to enforce it.

I would use the same consultant to later produce plans with all granular detail and modifications based on land choice, then assist in the execution of the project.Question: what professional would I seek out for a consult: architect, civil engineer, builder, developer, etc.Thank you for sharing feedback based on your experience with this type of project.

@Adam Howard I'm a big fan of the 1st position heloc, as you're able to pay down your balance with idle funds, then when a deal comes up you'll simply stroke a check.

I am in the process of trying to execute a 1031 exchange.

At the very least you can learn a lot as you do instead of reading a bunch of books that, while educational, don't really give you the practical tools to execute.  

I am still researching and taking in as much information as possible on all the different strategies out there...so it goes without saying that I haven’t executed a deal yet.

Once the numbers make sense, lay it all out and execute the plan. 

I did not consider that before executing the lease.

Just to contribute something of my own to the discussion, here's a few books I've been reading:- Mastering the Market Cycle by Howard Marks- Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk by Peter BernsteinLike some of the other recommendations, they're not real estate specific, but I'm finding that getting a broad understanding of financial history is helping me find my footing in the multifamily world.
