Are there any actionable steps that I can take to prepare myself for what I’m about to do.

Professionally prepared feasibility study6.

It takes some time and research to prepare the paperwork for a written offer.

There are no “average” rehab costs as every project is different.Ok, so when you can lock in an exit value, a rehab budget and your offer price, we can then see if you have a deal worth doing or not.Ball in your court.

Don't forget to change the locks when she is out. 

@Matt HigginsJust locked in a cash out refi today and was happy with the rate news!!

If you are past the inspection period window you are now locked into that contract.

If you are not prepared to put in the work and time needed to succeed in this business, then it really does not matter who your broker is.

But you can expect almost 10% in closing costs and commissions, so be prepared to lose that $80-$90k as well. 

As a beginner however, I am creating this post, hoping to benefit from some expert advice so that I am confident and prepared before moving forward.Roughly, I have decided I would like to purchase five properties in London (averaging $275K per property) in cash, and rent them out.
