I am new to the investment game although  i have listened, studied and taking courses for years.

Wholesaling does NOT lead to investing, studying real estate finance, principles and law and working for an investment real estate company leads to successful real estate investment. 

You could even look into Opportunity Zones.Other options are doing a Cost Segregation study depending on the property.To drag out the gains, you can do a Deferred Sales Trust, or Installment Sale.

We deal with some of the best "we buy" folks on the east coast.When the property condition is unexpected, they terminate during the study period... as they have reserved the right to do. 

Study the market.

I am particularly interested in purchasing my first investment property as a short-term rental (STR).After analyzing recent data from AirDNA, I have identified several promising areas: Douglas, Saugatuck, Fennville, and I am also exploring opportunities around Stevensville and New Buffalo.I understand that regulations around STRs vary widely, and I've taken the time to study city maps to identify areas where they are still permitted.

Note too that in Wake County, unlike decades past, there is no meaningful "foreclosure discount" (defined as the fact that winning courthouse bid prices were generally (historically) much lower due to the forced sale feature of NC statutes and Deed of Trust Power of Sale clauses) and this is confirmed by a recent Fannie Mae study. 

Shoot me a DM if you'd like to chat more, I'm a real estate agent and student studying here at Cal Poly!

Studies have shown that as many as three out of every five travelers are considering an RV trip for their next adventure.

But the more I am studying the market in Florida the house we are looking at are selling for the same price I will be selling my home in KY.
