For me the biggest issue I learned was that after owning rentals if you do want to exit and you want to say sell to a retail client ( owner occ) which generally will pay the most for a SFR asset if its in a decent school district.

One of my challenges might be that I'm still carrying undergrad and business school debt plus some credit card debt, so I'm still determining what financing might look like.

I am a college student graduating in May of 2025.

If the buyer has no capital and is a recent “graduate” of a guru mentorship program and needs to borrow the earnest money, then disaster is predetermined. 

If you are looking at protecting your profit, you can have a prepayment penalty, that would be graduated, for instance, you could have a $50,000 prepay year 1, then $45,000 year 2 and so on until you get to year 10 with no pre payment penalty.Also for future reference you can get Fix and Flip loans without having to tap into the equity in your primary residence.

Now I have graduated to entire parks. 

I have a real estate finance degree, but decided to pursue a different career field post graduation.

Plum Creek, Kyle - 1900 SF, 4 bed 2 bath, Corner lot, large backyard, great school district ratingWhisper, San Marcos - 2300 SF, 4 bed 3 bath + study room, moderate backyard, OK school district ratingThe Whisper property is about $20K higher priced.

it's kind of like when you were in grade school and you were really good at math and your teacher would come by and say "show me your work". 

I have encouraged my High School students to listen as well.
