What are the quality of your clients?  

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: In my very humble opinion, do not over think Real Estate, it's not necessary and this a a seat-of-your-pants game anyway...Couldn't agree more.I tell clients, it ain't that hard.

@Sara Habtom My extremely trusted contractor has been reaching out to some of his other investor clients to see if any of them want to sell anything for me.

For cash flow most of my clients look for residential multifamily (2-4 units).

We have helped many clients purchase a primary home and rental property and have helped with the ADU process.

While it may come at a higher cost, for a project involving plumbing, boiler conversion, and termite treatment, my strong recommendation is to opt for a reputable general contractor.

Personally, I continue to flip and have numerous clients doing them as well.

Welcome, this is a great spot to learn and meet clients!

There were a lot of steps missed from the very start like defining what exactly the client wants to achieve, are they preapproved and did you collect proof of funds to close, how will any acquisition be titled and why it matters now; how valuation is determined, current market conditions - appreciation, rent price, eviction rates, more; what makes a property ineligible for your client's search - what if it doesn't qualify for insurance, what if the repair cost will exceed a certain dollar amount, more. 

Mississippi's eviction process is not over-complicated but you do have to write out your own affidavits and pleadings so I strongly encourage you to line up someone to prepare these filings for you ASAP.
