@Danielle B when buying out of state you have to know the people you will be working with. 

It frustrates me when people say, "there are no good deals" or, "can you send me a good deal" but never define it. - What price point can you afford?

These are just deals I have invested in with other people. 

But when people are out of town / out of state the title company can hire a mobile notary near you and they will fedex the documents to your local area to sign.  

Hey all, as the title states I'm brand new to the real estate game and I'm looking to find people in the area who are willing to loosely guide/teach me how to wholesale/flip properties.Are there any networking events in the area I'd be able to connect with?

There are two kinds of people in the world.

Many people buy a house with a FHA loan and then turn it into a rental but it doesn't mean it's always allowed.

The key is by leveraging OPM (Other People’s Money).Do you have private money lenders in your circle who might fund the deal in exchange for equity or some interest?

Quote from @Aaron Wolman: General question, I am turning over my first rental and I got the charges from my contractor on damage done and I want to see peoples opinion. 

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you are legally separating them from your personal assets.
