Again, from what I have heard that having a regular job can help you get a loan from a national bank and get the lowest rate.  

In full disclosure, I never have done a loan this size personally only has dealt with banks for clients and know many friends who own very large portfolio who deal with banks on a regular basis. 

Great place to start is going regularly to the Memphis Investor Group (MIG). 

I also did not regularly inspect the inside of the house because I felt like I would be intruding on her home.

Again, work only with brokers that have demonstrated success in selling land to builders, and do so regularly.

I would consult with an Attorney and a CPA on that, every state has different laws for LLC's. i would think a regular LLC for the buy and holds and an LLC -S for your flips, i do not believe you do not have to or want to go as a C-corp.

Hey @Bryan Wilson I think this is a good discussion, and one that is definitely beneficial to new investors who ask me this question pretty regularly. 

Most of the time, I like my privacy and a quiet space to compose my thoughts, but there are times where it's time to socialize and interact with my colleagues.

feel stupid here but I cannot even find the Pros Files area. unless it's just the regular Files area. 

I'm a bit of a broken record trying to get some of my investors (and regular buyers) to look at homes with a basement apartment or carriage house.
