@Michele King I'd suggest establishing a presence online with a website and social media.

Thank you for your respectable replies.

Establish an LLC, fund the LLC, then purchase the property through the LLC.

@Erin M.You may be eligible to establish a Solo 401(k) based on consulting income.A Roth IRA cannot be rolled over into a Solo 401(k), unfortunately.The impact of taxation on UDFI is generally negligible. 

I bought turnkey so it's probably not the best deal but looking to establish concept for my first investment. 

To piggyback off of what @Cassi Justiz just said, you really want to establish a good relationship with your lender.

If this needs a wall-to-wall gut, it's a project that will often sink first-time flippers if they don't have established provider relationships and fully vetted contacts.

We have some clients that want to do those things and we have had to respectfully part ways.

For a new investor I'd say take this time (at the top of a market cycle) to establish relationships with a team that can help you when those deals are more plentiful.
