I understand that I should have a separate bank account from my personal checking/savings, but based on my research, this first deal won't necessarily provide cashflow with me living in one of the units (it will when I move out).

I personally have never bought any of Ron Legrand's courses nor attended any of his boot camps.

Start building your real estate team, join if you haven't already a local real estate investing club, watch your market to see what is selling with what features, and track what properties and areas are in demand.

We're great at finding deceased owners, and working with the Heirs to name a Personal Rep, and ultimately buying their property. 

It might surprise you, but investing overseas could bring in much more cash flow and appreciation than you thought possiblehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?

If you turned down anyone else before or after this person because they don’t make 3x you could be found guilty. 

As long as it will pass an appraisal and not be "Subject to" major issues you can get a renovation or personal loan for work.Unless you are cash fluid and can add some cash back into the property and then pull back out on the ARV refinance.

For me personally, I've been in the niche since 2007.

Seems like finding out if the person hiring them has the right to sell a property should be step 1?

I watched videos, but there is only so much I can watch.Hoping someone can lead me in the right direction !
