I am a complete rookie zero experience, zero properties and highly determined to get into multi-family investing.

It requires a solid FICO, that you get pre-approved with all current financials held in file beforehand, with the complete contract package submitted upon execution which starts the clock; insurance must be arranged within three days for lender underwriting. 

I've been informed that completing the course alone may not be sufficient to pass the exam, so I’m seeking advice on how to prepare effectively once I complete it.Currently, my only other resources include a YouTube video, five practice exams, and a textbook.If you have any additional suggestions—whether online or in-person, paid or free—that could help me effectively prepare for the exam, I would greatly appreciate them.

Then the other one has been completely silent.

If the proper reports and documentation are not completed, you run the risk of failing an IRS audit and the cost segregation not being honored.

.🔹 Insurance Challenges – Even when insurance pays, it rarely covers the actual cost to completely rebuild.

I'm not completely foreign to the construction process as I grew up around a family that was involved in home building, but due to living in another state I can't really lean on them for the direct, hands-on guidance. 

I am primarily hosting traveling medical personnel because there is a lot of demand for these professionals in our area and because my units are suited to their needs.

I would like to subdivide the land into smaller 5 acre tracts, sell them, then complete a 1031 exchange.

@Kerry Hermann - the posts by @Michael Ewers and @Samuel Coronado were solid advice (I don't know Nita Cook whom Sam referenced, so that's the only part of his post I can not comment on).I second what Michael said about the market here - it was fantastic from 2017 (when I started) through 2022 - then it really started to crater in 2023 (although we still found some deals), and the bottom completely dropped out in 2024 (found one small commercial deal and one residential flip deal in 2024 - that's it).
