The loan must be non-recourse (conventional financing is not allowed) so there are only select few lenders offering such loans, you should try some of the lenders on this list:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/2810/50272-lis...

At what point in the closing process do I discover all the liens and have full assurance that my newly purchased home is free and clear of any liabilities or obligations?

Read everything you can- the blogs, forum posts, the Ultimate Beginners Guide on BP, and of course many real estate books.

Figure out either an internet business(either dropshipping, ebaying, affiliate marketing, content creation(writing, reviews, videos, etc)(dude, start a blog now, put content on it, you put your story here, you can put it on your blog and eventually it will rank, even more as you progress your life improvement strategies))    ------    or start a super low overhead service business to start and run(think mobile/stationary car wash&detailing, cleaning service, maybe high demand time uber driving etc), or one possibly related somehow to real estate (if that is your interest)- like Landscaping(not maintenance-due to high equipment costs).

Here is something that may be of value that I posted in a blog on vetting sponsors of MF.  

Hi @Long Vang, I suggest you read through some of the commercial real estate blogs here on BP. https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/...But quick answer to your question is the formula Property Value = (Net Operating Income) / Capitalization Rate.

I just discovered BP about a week ago, and I have been churning through the podcasts which I have enjoyed.

I discovered that buying apartments or multiplexes is not a good fit for my personality.

Wrote this BP blog post today on a useful app for doing quick-and-dirty data visualizations and analysis (one of the visualizations is shown below), inspired by my own efforts analyzing Milford's online sales database, thought this forum might find it interesting.

If you are reading these posts or blogs or listening to podcasts we can all come to the conclusion that you like the IDEA of owning real estate.
