Contact Hunt Rounsavall or Harry Borders to get title search started and start figuring out who you need as contractors and what’s needed to get the property going. Congrats!

I’ve got a few people you can talk to. My preferred lender just changed banks, so I have to see if she can still do the same deals.

Troy talk to the Kreia folks and see if they want to do a satellite meeting. I think there’s 15-20 people coming up from e-town and ft Knox.

I look for 1.5+% of purchase price in rent. You can find them via MLS but you have to be quick. Most good mls deals will get blind offers at this point. Wholesalers are a good resource, but only a few can do math. Don’t fall for the highest ARV and highest rents in the area trap. Also here’s a reason they’ve moved things around to block or cover issues. If you can find someone to mentor you a bit and split a deal or 2 you can get some good tips, and connect with the right contractors etc.
