I've been interested in REI for a year or so, and am only just now finding out about the BP community and all of the resources it has to offer new investors.

A great agent will also invest in home, pest, and roof inspections to remove doubt in a buyer's mind prior to making an offer.

After house hacking it and having live-in renters for several years, I really got a taste of what real estate investing can offer.

Pre-Closing The Contract If you are the buyer and your offer was accepted by the seller, you will enter into a contract.

Many lenders also offer an Interest-Only HELOC, with which you pay interest only — no principal — during the draw period (Usually 10 years).

My questions are:How do we legally set our agreement and protect our business? 

I am going for a house hack with Fannie & Freddie conventional , After my 4th offer was rejected going over listing I asked the listing agent for some additional info and they stated that for this property there were 42 showings within 4 days. 1 cash offer, 1 commercial, 15 conventional and one FHA with 9 waived inspections, 11 escalation clauses and 5 appraisal gaps.

You can focus on the mechanics of capital raising, the legal set up, good customer service, that's what I did when I got started nearly 22 years ago.

How can I verify the Opex of the property prior to submitting an offer?
