Basic structure: leverage cash value (while it remains intact), purchase cash flowing asset, cash flow pays off interest, death benefit goes to trust system for your family and/or passion. 

In my area it’s around $500 for a 2 day course and you learn a lot of skills and the basic techniques and then you’re “certified”.

came across "Hover.to" in a basic google search. 

Or basic IRA without checkbook control.

One of the biggest mindset shifts for me moving from single-family to multifamily was realizing that cash flow and taxable income are two very different things.Depreciation and other non-cash expenses can significantly change how income is treated for tax purposes, especially in larger properties.I recently put together a short video walking through this visually using a multifamily case study, in case it’s helpful for others who think better with examples:  https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1FwE9RA4Pj/Curious how others here explain this concept to newer investors.

The concept of craftsmanship, plum, square, and true mean nothing to them. 

If you send the basics (price, current rents, expenses, any rehab needs, and what you’re assuming for financing), I can walk you through how I’d underwrite a 9-unit and what I’d watch out for before you get too far down the road.

Quote from @James Friar: Hello bigger pockets family my name is James and I'm fairly new to real estate investing, ive been educating myself on kinda how things work (the lingo, terms,concepts) and still trying to figure out the process of this feild and after watching so many videos and listening to other investors experiences i decided that i would like to take the new land construction route, i was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to get my feet with this process.

A few high-impact items to stay on top of are:HVAC: Annual servicing and regular filter changesPlumbing: Check for leaks under sinks and toilets; inspect/flush the water heaterSafety: Test smoke and CO detectors, and check GFCI outletsRoof & Exterior: Quick roof inspection, clean gutters, and check caulking/sidingDryer vents: Clean regularly to reduce fire riskThese basics go a long way in preventing bigger, more expensive issues down the line.

Start with a short discovery meeting with the buyer to lock in the basics such as whether the land is already owned or needs to be purchased, the desired square footage, budget range, timeline, and whether they plan to pay cash or need financing.
