My current focus is on doing my first flip or live-in flip here, and I'm eager to learn from those with experience in this space.I'm particularly interested in developing solid systems and strategies to achieve long-term financial freedom through real estate.

The goal is to achieve and maintain financial freedom.

Of course, this is just my opinion but I bet I'm not alone..If I'm an investor, I think the returns you're able to achieve in Costa Rica are higher than normal because you focus on these large properties and, as @Martin D. mentioned, prices in that country are too high and returns too low.

People rarely achieve wealth quickly.

Hi there,From what I've seen and the data suggests, the Hampton Roads market is indeed quite competitive.

The loan officer may look at it and use the comps and data in a dispute, just as they could independently look up that same data and use it in a dispute. 

Hey Mitchell,Since your goal is to leave your 9-5 (achieving a certain amount of cash flow) then to reach that goal you can either have ~5 paid off rentals or ~20 leveraged rentals. 

What are the best resources to get that data from?

I am still super excited even after about a year now of learning and entering into the community, yet to achieve a wholesale deal.

Over the past three years, I’ve been using most of the major off-market techniques.One standout method has always been pulling data and feeding it into a call center to generate off-market leads.
