I’m looking to get started at using my people and negotiation skills in the market fully, I’m hunting for properties in the UK that can be hidden gems or fixer uppers, with a keen eye for architecture and a clear understanding of value and use I’m thoroughly analysing websites and in person sites for good deals.

Under that, it gets very tough.If you plan on retaining/keeping any of the properties you pick up (whether using hard money or otherwise), I strongly recommend you start working with a lender now to see what can be done about your credit.

Here's the handbook link https://dca.georgia.gov/housing-choice-voucher/landlords/geo...I strongly urge you to consult an attorney.

This makes a strong partnership agreement critical to protect your interests.Legal and Tax Implications: Consult with a real estate attorney to formalize your agreement and ensure compliance with local laws.4.

Start by analyzing market trends and targeting neighborhoods with strong rental demand.

In working on construction loan financing, the lender informed me I'll need to unencumber that portion of the property (makes sense) before closing on the construction loan.I understand there to be two methods generally speaking: refinancing my mortgage and removing that portion of the property in the process OR attaining a partial release from the lender to remove that land.I *strongly* want to avoid refinancing as I have an amazing rate, but partial releases seem complex and also require a survey.

Likewise if there is anything I can do on the architectural side I am happy to help.

@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @Bruce Lynn: @Jay Hinrichs      But I do understand the OP points and I think that folks just really dont understand the work and risk involved in ANY rental property short of NNN leases with super strong companies Exactly. 

.- Getting under contract and then reducing the price because of findings is common, but major reductions are likely to tick off the seller unless you have strong justification.
