Any other tips or things I must do would be helpful too.Thank you.

Check out the forums under Starting out, you'll find  a lot of tips to get your feet wet in REI and overcome those fears, doubts and analysis paralysis you may have on your first deal. 

@James Marie hey man, don't get too down about it.Couple things:1) RE isn't for the faint of heart, so know that out of the gate.2) it took me 10 months to find my first deal, and I was pretty active in looking.3) Take the time to listen to the last podcast, there is a great tip on this at the end that is simply put and says it all.4) Really using the word "motivation" is the wrong thinking, motivation comes and goes, it's more of an emotional response of sorts.

@DMitriy Fomichenko Thanks for the tips.

Hello everyone,Does anyone have any tips for someone starting out in real estate about the best ways to find a good accountant to help you structure your investments and a good real estate attorney? 

It took time, wouldn't leave that practice for anything.Here's a tip, whenever you close, try and specify your realty lawyer for closing every time.

(then wholesale the home to a buyer/investor or seller finance it myself with a partner)IMPORTANT NOTE: At this time, I do not know where the cash will come from to purchase the home, but I know I can find that easily.My biggest struggle right now is creating a deal that makes sense for everyone in the transaction.Any creative ideas, tips, or flawed logic behind my idea is more than welcome.

Is it things like deferred maintenance which could be a big problem, or landscaping, painting, electricity etc?

I would appreciate any tips. 

One of my wife's uncles was in charge of one of the properties which is zoned for commercial/residential, it is a 1708 Sqf office space/small warehouse on .36 acre lot.Which with some research it can be split into 2 lots.He let the property go to the dump, needs a new metal roof, and gutted, replace plumbing/bathroom, replace electrical etc...Now my wife’s Aunt is in charge of the estate and she was the one who approached me.She said they will "sell" me the property for $30K (estimates from Real estate agent say property is worth $43-$53K in current condition) Which then I could clean the property up and try to resell with the improvements.Now if I did replace the roof make the inside look nice and clean the overgrown landscaping I was told (real estate agent) it could get about $60K, but there are back taxes and liens on the property as well.Plus closing cost for when I sell it, I have run the numbers and it seems that I would MAYBE make $3000-$9000 conservatively.But I am real concerned over the fact that it is used as an office/commercial, and wouldn't this limit buyers?
