Hey Brittany, There are many things to take into account when starting out but I will recommend focusing on your sales skill first on the acquisition side

It's great to have experienced folks join the site!

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Would recommend for someone that has the time and experience, without a ton of cash to invest into deals.

If you send a text, we recommend getting a GoogleVoice number as you can save all your texts more easily.

Now that I have read multiple posts and received recommendations from others and read BiggerPockets threads, I am inclined to create Entity structure to avoid any property liabilities and get tax advantages using income shifting strategies for my 1099 revenue from small IT LLCThis is what I am thinking and need some inputs from others on this channel.

I would encourage folks to watch the American greed episode on Remington financial.. little different they took due diligence fee's  this company is taking money to bird dog deals for them. but it was proven that in almost 20 years Remington funded less than 12 deals and they took in 5k to 10k per client. made millions. this I see is somewhat of a parallel offer to fund the deals make the bar so high that no one ESPECIALLY a newbie can get over the bar..  

I recommend exploring all your options as FHA has a nasty upfront fee and permanent mortgage insurance.

If you need recommendations, let me know and I'll send a few over.
