I hope we don't approach all new people with such a cloud of doubt, otherwise it will be hard for new people to get started. Remember, everyone was new once.

So if your new like you say why are you giving the poster financial direction? Your post does not seem to be neutral anyways.

she gave an opinion....on the topic at hand. how is that a bad thing.

House hacking is always the way to go if your overall goal in this world is to acquire more properties. the extra money gained thru rent plus the experience gained becoming a first time land lord will benefit you in the long run as u start to scale up and add more doors to your portfolio.

Quote from @Chauna Caudill:

Hey @Jon Kelly I haven't been able to find a duplex yet but out of the ones I've seen there aren't any at 2%. I have another place to stay until I get a duplex I currently have a realtor sending me some once they hit MLS.


 does it cost to stay where youre going to be(are u renting?) if not why not keep the propety and enjoy the cashflow. If you already had a propety in the pipeline id say sell...but its making you money short and long term so seems like a win win

Quote from @Account Closed:

The right way Dummy is to develop a relationship with an experienced real estate investor and have your investor by the property and when the deal closes escrow your investor pays you a finder fee bonehead!!!....It's just common sense you so called flat broke wannabe horrible wholesalers don't have no money no nothing bonehead why would you get in an contract with a seller of a house and you don't have no money bonehead?.... The way I described it is the right way to do it bonehead!!!.....You need to stop lying Bonehead nobody is making Millions so called wholesaling Bonehead it's a SUCKER born every minute!!!..... Wholesalers SUCK!!!!!!!   " THE FLIP KING" ...... " THE KING OF THE FLIP "



how about u do yourself a favor and cool out...its clear that a wholesaler burned u good for u to be all inside your feelings like this. get therapy

Quote from @Matt Schreiber:

@Lynn Berg @Shawn J. I would say that the $1,000 per month is pretty conservative if you manage the STR yourself. I currently cash flow over that in Tybee Island, GA, Pawleys Island, SC, Weaverville NC, and Avon, NC. Since I bought those properties, the prices have gone up and the rates are up so I would say its more challenging especially because people lose their minds in these markets so a lot of the furnished rentals get a bunch of offers but I've seen that Panama City Beach still has condos and townhouses for under 400k that are right across from the beach. I went under contract on one of those a few weeks ago so I'll have more feedback if that ends up closing but Gulf Shores, Al and any of those North Carolina mountain towns can definitely still cash flow well. There's a few easy things you can do to stay booked which I can talk to you about anytime if you want.

curious to hear more on this

Quote from :

let me save you some time. I always jokingly say look for coffee shops. If you find indy coffee places with fancy brands= A class. If you can find a Starbucks, you are likely in a B class. If you have to go to 7 eleven for coffee and no one drinks coffee= C class. If there is no coffee... and no 7 eleven... run!

 so go where the good coffee is. got it lol...Checked out niche. actually a cool site to mess around with. good suggestion @Wale Lawal

have to give meighborhoodscout a look seen now @Eudith Vacio. Trulia took away my crime stats a while back. not sure why
