@Jay Helms, right now, i'm thinking  about house hacking, BRRRR, and land development. 

I am a commercial real estate developer in Nashville, I moved here several years ago from California, and lived in LA for almost a decade.

Regardless of which structure you choose, be sure to have a good understanding of the prohibited transaction rules and choose a provider who can help you develop that understanding.

I’m looking for someone who is a investor with rentals , someones ear to pick a little bit up the ups and downs of the game.

Even if we did stay here, properties are so expensive that it seems hard to get them to cash flow at all, which is the name of the game in buy and hold, right?

@Blake BroseI would somehow figure out a way to not use the term Turnkey...I think most investors that are not new to the REI game have now figured out that this option really does not make sense. 

Anyhow, I've been doing alot of reading here on BP over the last few weeks to get "back in the game" and here are some questions I have about moving forward: Should I get pre-qualified/approved first before trying to make offers?

I hate that game.

I feel there is anyone in the Massachusetts area looking for a partnership I’d love to meet up sometime to see if we could develope a successful partnership.Also, if there is a local meet up that may lend itself to networking with rehabbers please inform me as I have not yet been to a meet up and not sure if that is allowed at all meet ups? 

I’m sure the rehab process varies from house to house, but in general do flippers try to stick to the same game plan?
