@Kristopher Gomez check out IVAS! http://investorvaservices.com

One of the founders spoke at our local REIA meeting recently and it sounds like an excellent service. I am considering using them myself.

Good luck!

Thanks @Mark Nolan, I agree - the podcasts are gold! 

Welcome @Timamu Hakim! Great job on already having one under your belt! Can I ask how you found the GA rental and how long you've owned it? I'm just getting started as well, and I'm in Western MD. Thanks!

Also, I second @Aaron Christen's advice about the podcasts - they are gold! Aaron - I have friends and family in Pinedale! What an awesome place to live...I'm truly jealous

@Kezia welcome from a fellow Marylander! Sounds like you have a great foundation for success already - I wish you the best! 

@Nyomi Gumbs that was a great question - thanks for asking! Sounds like you might be in the right area...

@Russell Brazil what are your thoughts on the flipping market in areas west of MoCo, such as Frederick or Washington County and surrounding areas? Do you have any experience in these markets? Thanks in advance!

@Judah Houser did you ever find a good real estate lawyer to work with? Thanks in advance!

Thanks all for your response and encouragement! 

@Larry Fried great feedback, thank you for breaking it down like that. I am starting to get the picture that it's not just about the potential profits, it's how much work do you want to trade for those profits? And as @Andrew Syrios mentioned, it's about the resource of TIME and ENERGY, not just money! I think I read somewhere they call that "human capital"...

Andrew, you did mention that you would lean more towards something we discover on our own vs something from a turnkey provider - could you elaborate on that a bit if you have the time? 

@Jeff Wallenius and @Tom Ott, thanks for the input - now that I am looking, you're right, turnkey is everywhere! I can see how it would be so important to choose wisely. Both your thoughts were very helpful 

Michael Enriquez Thank you for the thorough response! Sounds like I'm on the right track then, good to hear you had about a year of soaking up info. Thanks again!!

Hey Oscar York ! Welcome! Sounds like you and I are very similar - I too am in a job that's just not fulfilling anymore, and have set a 2 year timeline to freedom! Also interested in wholesale. I wish you the very best of luck!!

Michael Enriquez Congrats! The place looks beautiful. How did you orchestrate the work on the property? Did you do any work yourself or hire out, and if so how did you find/choose the contractor out of state? Also, you sound so well informed!! Can I ask how long you have been studying up before making the leap? What were your educational sources? Do you have a mentor? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just so impressed by how well informed you seem and the confidence in your knowledge and plan going forward is really awesome!! Very inspiring. Again...major congrats on a great first deal!!!
