So I am now thinking that in order for this to work out at all, I will have to sell myself and hire a real estate agent to do a transactional review of paperwork or take the paperwork to an attorney.   

PS I think I know the answer, I'm just hoping a genius will say, "nah, it's fine, it'll all work out when you fake it". 

I just met with a friend who owned 25 units out of state but bought in areas he didn't have a great team/were higher risk/reward opportunities that just didn't work out for him.

@Braden Smith Strategy would be buy and hold rentals, as it’s the least time-intensive while in my W2 (at least until I scale).

Even if the property doesn’t work out it will help me to think about the process and solidify my ‘How can we do this’ mindset.

They offer day, evening and even intense weekend classes. 

Is that something we would have to work out between us or is there an actual form we can fill out to make it legal and should I even do that?

Did it work out for those that were in a similar position as me?

@Joel Parrilla Both are very capital intensive, but flipping for income is probably the best way to make an income.

I could work out the math on how that would look, but that isn't particularly aggressive.
