Just interview a few and see who you think would be the best fit and understands what you are doing. 

Hoping to make some connections through BP for learning groups, REIAs, etc and of course get more involved in BP.

People at these meetings likely can help you with contracts and documents they use regularly for deals 3) This involves another contract, you basically sell your equitable interest in the property you have under contract.

I know there is a ton of options for her and myself if I get involved.

Evaluate your metrics and requirements and see if it fits.

I second the suggestion to get involved in your local REI meetings.

Do some basic internet research and see what cities/markets fit your investment plan and then contact an agent for help.

Haven't seen a deal in some time that fits the formula (outside the hood) but that time WILL come again.For this point in the cycle we focus on stabilized, high quality assets with in place income and very little risk. 

$250K ARV - $140 Purchase - $25K Rehab = $85k - $15k Commissions = $70KCarrying costs, utilities, taxes etc will lessen your profit, but it fits the (70% of ARV - Repairs) formula in terms of purchase price.Can you get it for less that $140k?

I have an interest in getting involved with real estate investing in the near future, specifically rental properties.
