As someone who’s spent a couple of decades in real estate investing, here are a few things I’d keep in mind:HOA Restrictions: You’re absolutely right to check the HOA documents.

I got my GC license a couple years ago so I could build houses myself as I was sick of dealing with contractors.I've hired plenty of contractors that were not licensed/insured and it went fine.

I had a brief F2F with Ivan a couple weeks ago when I ran into him at a conference in FLorida.

Then my second house which was freshly turned had a tenant that up and left after a couple of months and caused excessive damage. 

I'd likely just agree to break the lease with a couple months of rent as a penalty rather than force these people to continue being tenants in my property....you never know what will happen to the condition of the property.

There are a couple of unique tax laws to real estate investors - 1031 exchange, bonus depreciation on certain improvements, Qualified Opportunity Zones, real estate professional status, etc.Make sure that the accountant you interview to understand the above concepts.best of luck!

I worked adjacent to a couple of rehab teams on the admin side.

Is there an agent that you could "partner" with on a couple transactions (at no cost to that agent) to give you some transaction experience?

I hired Jenny Yi to design our latest STR in person, she demanded that I pay the full amount of her services upfront, $7,500, which I thought was strange as we are used to paying half upfront and half once it's completed, but proceeded anyway because a couple of people recommended her.

For fix-and-flip pros, BRRRR enthusiasts, and wholesalers alike, the landscape looks different than it did just a couple of years ago.For flippers: What’s your approach to finding end buyers in this market?
