Even wholesaling or flipping requires contracts, and you're not old enough to sign.There are a lot of young people looking to start, and it would be nice to hear more of your story and how they could follow your process.

They specialize in rentals which is nice. 

You mentioned a creek, so finding a few flat/clear-ish areas with a nice view of the creek could be all you need.  

Now I am wearing the other shoe and it’s nice.

My family goes to our STR quite often and we alway have a nice time. 

In the area where I want to purchase; house is in the $400K for OK house, nice one is $500K in orlando Fl area.

Yeah I can see using the welcome aboard forums to pump up your comment numbers to make it look like they've been around a while before trying to sneak a pitch for some scam guru trash  I think warm welcomes are nice, but the carry more weight from people who have been around.

Nice to hear your son is also getting into the rehabbing thats amazing for that age!

The provided a really nice place to live for significantly cheaper than renting a run down rental in a bad area.
