My current strategy is similar to many, targeting long term rentals for single family houses and 2-4 plexes, acquiring with the BRRR method when possible.

What are the necessary steps to the purchase?

Sounds like you are more than a couple steps ahead of the game!

I did however finally take the first step and contact a great connection & agent who's in the midst of helping me find the first property.A big part of this post is to express my gratitude to all the consistent posters, hosts (Josh and Brandon), and all the amazing guests that have devoted their time to create such a supportive community and have been so unbelievably inspiring and knowledgeable.

Which leads to a series of additional steps, like annexation, zoning, densities, utilities (water, sewer, electric) and entitlements.A real estate developer is your best bet as a resource to conduct the initial due diligence and go into a deeper dive to define the project or projects best suited for the property. 

Hey everyone ..looking to to find my first wholesale deal I'm am working on finding cash buyers in my area of virginia that's the first step I am focusing on ...my question is where can I find an assignment contract A to B & B to C ?

But it is proven method in movies.

Always felt the "nomad" method/live-in to rental was better for starting off and scaling. 

@Sai Krishna Byra , you dont want to complicate your first step with non-grantor trust.

So my question is..what is the next step before we ACTUALLY put our business plan and paper, and begin pitching to banks/investors?
