Scott Trench's new article   Millions of Americans Should Keep Their Homes as Rentals, Not Sell.

It could be in a small town in the Midwest and only worth $400k or NYC and be worth multiple millions. 

My partner's family owns an STR, free and clear, worth between 1.8-2 million in a popular vacation destination.

Sure, all of those seemingly unrelated things happening at once might seem far-fetched, but they lined up for many folks in 2008-2009.  

Quote from @Marcus Auerbach: The best tip I can give you ask a flipper or a new construction home builder if you can shadow an entire project, maybe run errands for them and deliver supplies to the job.Get on the job every day, best way to learn the processThis times a million.

In 2023, 4.1 million existing homes changed hands, a level not seen since 2008 (which was effectively the trough after the housing crisis).

Truly appreciate it.I believe every major metro with over 1 million people can be a good MTR market.

Hi @Naseema Subrati, I know I'm a little late to the party here but the Philly metro is a great area to get involved in, tons of opportunity ranging from 50k-1 million+ SFH, multi unit, development opportunities.

We all remember what happened in 2008, how do you know that $1 million dream home isn’t a McMansion worth half that, and one you won’t be able to resell?

That's a pretty big chunk of stuff to do and you'll probably have a million questions about things you discover while studying these things.Good Luck!
