They are a lenders attorney and deal with a lot of creditor rights and draft all our docs for us (note, loan agreement, personal guarantee) and work with title on deed of trust  I'm just literally starting out so the state is not yet decided but if my arm was twisted I'd pick Ohio. 

I started with Batch leads.

I just started doing research.

Hi All,I want to get started buying notes and wanted to compare apple with apples.

I've started a rehab on a SFH and after getting into the project, I've discovered a handful of things that will most certainly push me over budget on my rehab leaving me short of funds. 

However, once I get my own home purchase out the way, the next move is to start building a rental property portfolio. 

If this is a route you plan to go, I might also get a lawyer on board from the start and allow them to either negotiate with the insurance company or file the lawsuit against the agent and brokerage.

Real Estate is definitely not just a "numbers analysis" and you are definitely thinking about things the right way - but I think a good next step for you would be to spend some time putting a lot of this stuff into a (very) basic financial model/spreadsheets mapping out all the potential costs and estimates on effect (effect on value, on exit, different scenarios) - I think getting started with that framework should help with these decisions immensely

I started my career as an Architect specializing in exactly what you are looking for. 

I started the fund.
