Sorry, @Michael Acheampong, I'm unable to provide free individual consultations

I'd consult with a broker and see what terms they can offer. 

I told them I had capital and years of experience running businesses as well as being a financial coach and consultant.

Always consult with your attorney before you rely on the above information.

It mat be the time to hire a tax consultant as a normal Team member of yours and be able by phone to help with any consequences or questions. 

All agents can be both although some would prefer to specialize and choose to focus on being either a seller agent or a buyer agent.Typically when a seller agent list a property on the MLS the seller will pay 6% at closing to the agent or agents involved...If you as a buyer is represented by an agent they will split the commission 50/50...bottom line is that it make sense for a buyer to have an agent who represent them and is obligated to take care of the buyer interests...the seller agent obligation are first of all to the seller...You as buyer don't pay more for this representation...you can find a lot of explanation on that by just googling 'Buyer Agent'...The buyer agent guidance is particularly helpful in your first couple of deals/offers.I found the agent I work with the most after I scheduled to see one of her listing (which I didn't made an offer on) we did had a good conversation though and she started to send me tailored listing alerts emails...which led so far to many offers and two deals with her...Most important thing is to find an agent you feel comfortable to work with and who understand your goals and parameters...In my case particularly since my market is out of state she was very helpful in navigating all the differences and details of the offers and deals.You can work with multiple buyer agents (on different offers/deals of course) until you find the one you feel most comfortable with...avoid signing exclusive agreements with any if they ask...or at least consult the forums before doing so... 

Also, you should probably consult with someone in your area.

Is there an easy way to check what lien is being bid on and what other liens agreements are in place or is the best way to consult a professional/title search company?

I advised them to consult with an attorney and their CPA so they could be better informed and if they have any concerns we could discuss.

It's been the best move I've ever made, but I was incredibly picky.I m in the same position ,I m planing fly out to OH next month to meet up a local consultant and to partner up with deals, the structure he provided is 50/50, means I invest money ,he invest effort (finding deals /rehab/finding tenants etc.all the heavy lifting )and we share everything, debt /profit/cash flow----50/50, buy and hold for long term on MF rental properties, the properties will be under trust agreement and with his name and my name as beneficiaries.I was still wondering what is the long distance partnership like in nowadays?
