@Niko Stavros

I'm impressed by all you've achieved in just 22 years!

You're absolutely right—surrounding yourself with like-minded investors and finding a mentor can be a game-changer.

Wishing you even more success ahead!

@Mark Rodriguez 

I came here to say everything that @Ryan Kelly Mentioned. 

But to add, If you hold for at least two years before selling (and still qualify under the primary residence exemption), you might avoid capital gains taxes. If not, consider a 1031 exchange when you sell to defer taxes on profits.

Texas is a great market, Id hold that property for as long as you can!

@Britt Arlen

Welcome to BP! 

Have you researched what it takes to successfully complete a fix-and-flip? Are you planning to manage the project yourself?

Take the time to write down a clear succession plan, define your investment goals, and outline what you want to achieve.

From there, establish a budget and determine how much time you can realistically dedicate to completing repairs and renovations.

Once you have a solid plan in place, secure financing and assemble a reliable, licensed, and bonded team you can trust to handle the rehab of your asset.

I look forward to hearing from you a year from now about how successful your investment is!

@Slavik Jacksonville

Welcome to the community! 

What is drawing you towards Jacksonville? Are you looking to stick to your local market? 

I would narrow down what route you want to take. Rather it is BRRRR, Turn-Key, or Fix and Flips.

I am happy to connect at any time to trade strategies etc.
