When people can't cover their costs is when things spiral out of control.The rehab portion of this industry is not easy to navigate. 

I have been in Roofing industry for almost 25 years have offices in 3 states and I know how tough the insurance companies are.

We have positive net migration, and a robust industry (tech, aerospace, agriculture, financial, etc.) that keeps demand for homes high.

@Andy Ptak when jumping into the industry you have a few choices:1) Start at the bottom2) Leverage your experience to convince someone to give you a chance3) Decide between:--- Big companies who will usually start you at the bottom--- Small companies that will more like to a chance on hiring you for an above entry level position.

I’ve been in the industry for several years, and my work has given me a solid understanding of property systems, maintenance, and what makes a home a great investment.I’m now looking to expand my own real estate journey by learning how to acquire and manage short-term and long-term rental properties.

Right now, I'm working with a team that helps find off market properties for investors which has been a great way to dive in and connect with experience professionals in the industry.

I am taking a salesperson license exam this year to get into the industry and use these commissions toward closing costs.

I’ve been in the industry for a little under a year now and have gained a solid understanding of the market here.

Sadly, this price-gouging behavior has become the unfortunate new norm in the insurance industry.

Because later on, if you want to get a business line of credit, apply for grants, or pivot into a different industry (like buying an ice cream truck—hey, life happens), you can use the same LLC without lenders or banks assuming you're only doing risky real estate deals.
