My name is Jenna, and I’m a new real estate investor based in Atlanta.

Regarding costs there are a lot of factors considered but to give you a ballpark idea, here is a brief scenario: Our main office is based out of Cherry Hill NJ, a typical 3 bedroom row-home lead-paint inspection in that area would cost on average $450, however we can service the entire state of New Jersey (North Jersey office in Montclair, NJ). 

To be more specific about what i'm looking to do: My 1-2 year goal is to employ the BRRRR strategy with SFHs and Condos by buying distressed / highly undervalued properties that need work (preferably all-cash) in low crime areas with strong rental demand, renovate them within budget (again preferably all-cash) and get them rent ready before refinancing them at the highest ARV possible.

In the past 10 years, Ocala has greatly improved the employment base, adding tons of logistics and distribution jobs on top of the medical, service and equestrian jobs that we have always had.

Both flat and percentage base charge usually a 1 month fee to lease out the unit. 

Based on what I am seeing on the Department of State website, in order to do this I'll need to be a licensed broker.

If your 401K is with your current employer, it is (effectively) impossible to make it an SDIRA. 

It seems like this would have to be some preset terms under employment agreements.

But based on my personal experience you won't cash flow with a DSCR loan on a SFR rental.
