I am a new real-estate investor looking at flipping properties in a higher end neighborhood.

Also typically time is of the essence in Real Estate so the quicker things get moving the faster the return comes.

I am new to real estate investing and got into it because of the book The House Hacking Strategy.I live in San Diego; the rent is just crazy.

Any form of real estate, real estate syndications, or private lending is fine.

Can your real estate investment outperform the long-term returns of your 401(k), net of taxes and penalties if something goes sideways?

I have found some of the best contractors from Facebook groups in the local market for example "Real Estate Investors of Oklahoma City".

Quote from @Jonathan Jackson: Hello, my is Jonathan Jackson I am new to the real estate investing world.Congratulations.....

If the sale is for $600K then you need to purchase $600K of replacement investment real estate. 

Lower Start-Up CostsTraditional real estate investing requires 20%-25% down, making it difficult for many to scale quickly.

Now, it took me many years and a lot of real estate trading to get to this place with my bank, but that is why I highly recommend that RE investors work hard and finding and nurturing a local banking relationship.
