This means you can swiftly transition out of the business while securing your financial interests, without the hassle of seeking external financing or dealing with traditional lenders.

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,
I'm an investor with experience in commercial and industrial spaces, now moving into residential land development in Georgia and the Carolinas, focusing on large tracts up to 100 acres...

My goal is to transition to a full time investor.

I would under-react about the house cleaning as they will be quick to retort that they are in the process of moving - just state that it would be helpful to have the apartment "show well" so you can get this part of the process over with and both you and they can return to preparing for the transition.

It's a really exciting transition for us.

I am considering whether to keep investing in similar rural areas with populations below 15,000 or to transition to purchasing properties in larger cities.

My target market is Detroit and I have 12-doors there personally.If you have aggressive goals and want to transition out of your W2 in 5-10 years you will NOT get there following a turnkey investing approach unless you just have gobs of capital. 

While I can see how having some POH's isn't the end of the world, especially if you have a solid plan to transition to TOH's over time, for someone with no "experience" and not a ton of startup capital, my major concern is being able to get financing if I can't secure a seller carried note.

Since I've been wholesaling I've just used forms out of books I've read or templets from random web sites, and i feel like I'm about to transition to buy and holds or even brrrs, so i feel better put together paperwork would be better.

I have transitioned from real estate buyer to note investor over last several years.
