Hi everyone - I was hoping to get some advice and a recommendation of a good RE attorney.So here is my situation - an HOA foreclosed on a house and I was the winning bidder at the sheriff sale.

There is a great group of members on here to connect with.

The big thing is to not shoot for the home run deal on your first one.

Bonus question: what kind of impact does this have on my taxes and how do I file this?

ROI is normally much better on resales. 

Thanks for the mention @Nathan Gesner@Jodi-Ann Birch we don't do business up in Flint, but we have encountered Gebrael Management a few times as they've tried to do business in Metro Detroit.They seem to have good processes, but please validate they will meet your expectations.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

In addition to identifying and purchasing those properties I am currently focused on building out the management SOP's to facilitate smooth management of the 10-12 units owned by 3 different entities. 

I’d be happy to hop on a call to discuss options.

I've built some great relationships on here.  

They are marketing a new deal in North Carolina on FB.
