We've been using Cozy for about four years and it's been a game changer for us.

You could go on title with the owner as Tenants in Common on the deed, or secure an option on the property for a percentage of the eventual sale, or use a Joint Venture contract.

Does anyone have any suggestions for investor friendly agents, lawyers, and title companies??

Once you receive collateral file you can go through it to make sure all paper work is valid and there (chain of title etc).

I think the sweet spot is 4-5 bedrooms, 3-4 bathrooms, a fabulous Master Sweet (since they are likely footing the bill), sleeps 12 - 20, tons of activities (installed a pool table, corn hole game, etc...), and in my location of AZ a pool. 

Hey @Ryan James I looked on on a deal like that few month ago.Often when appraised as residential 2-4 units, it’s going to be by the unit and Not Caprate, income based.Are the 2 buildings on the same title / deed?

You could certainly use your skills to subsidize your income while you break into the game.

I'm looking for an investor-friendly realtor, attorney, CPA, title company, and any other help that I can get.My plan is to do wholesaling, to begin with. 

If you want to do that in the RE world, you should explore wholesaling, that is the only way I am aware that you can still be in the game and network without having to have any money.

Building on Omar's good advice, I would say it is more difficult to succeed in investing without a game plan in mind.
