I have done research talked to realtors, lenders, and hard money lenders but I can’t seem to figure out where to start to take my initial first step in action to trying to make my first deal come alive or even get started on my first deal....

In a “crash” maybe that equates to 10 deals per year.If you just “wait” then you won’t have the experience or the network (not to mention capital) to be able to take down 10 deals a year if/when the crash finally comes.Telling yourself it’s ok to wait is just an excuse for inaction.

I need to pay a minimum of $100 franchise and excise tax via FAE 170, regardless of inactivity.

After being issued an inactive real estate license in Texas, I am looking for a broker.

Just a heads up for those in active research.

Now, if you want $200K/yr in active income, you can achieve that by flipping houses (fix-n-sell).I really depends on what you want.

I have purchased a vacant lot in a neighborhood that has an inactive HOA.

Aaron, Here is some general info on insuring the property that I posted previously: Here are some things to look for from an Insurance prospective:1.Any in-ground tanks (active or inactive)2.Any Knob & Tube or Aluminum Wiring3.If built before 1978, does the building have Lead Safe certifications4.Any wood stoves or secondary heating units.

What's stopping me is not fully understanding the process or seeing one in action, despite my research.My goal would be to sit with the investor (virtually, of course, or local if you are in the Philly region) and understand your method of identifying, evaluating, executing, and closing on the process.What can I offer you?

I think @Bill S. makes a great point about the inaction that comes from too many supposed deal pipelines.
