@Bryce MillerWelcome, and congratulations on making the decision to leverage the owner occupied loan to get started in real estate investing.

As a newbie, you always question whether you're making the right decision, but you just have to push forward after a certain amount of time to prevent analysis paralysis.

This can provide additional capital for future investments and get the next one.Or evaluating other loan options:Depending on your long-term plans, you could explore conventional loans or portfolio loans that might offer more favorable rates or terms with the new appraisal value factored in.Your decision depends on your broader strategy.

I respect and support you and your decision.

I have a full time W2 that I'm passionate about, so I feel this process will allow me to time to make sound decisions as opposed to quick fix n flips.

Why ask: Knowing the mentor's expectations will help you prepare for what’s required in terms of effort, communication, and engagement in the program.Asking these questions will ensure you make an informed decision about whether the mentorship program is a good fit for you and your goals.

It sounds like you've gotten some solid direction above, but a few flags stood out to me in the above discussions and I wanted to point them out to help make your decision.- You mentioned this sale is tax free 121 exclusion, which is great, and seems like a solid start to your goal.- The townhouse you're moving into is currently a rental, but you plan to live there two years for the 121 exclusion.

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

We’ve taken proactive pest control steps, and I’ll schedule another inspection to ensure everything is in order.”If the issue persists without real proof, stand by your decision or explore replacing the tenant at market rent ($1,700).

It could give you peace of mind as you focus on your family and move to your new home, without the additional stress of managing a second property from afar.Best of luck with your decision!
