To make an informed decision, run the numbers, investigate HOA rules, start networking, save strategically, and explore suburbs with affordable homes.Good luck!

:) According to The Indy Star they are back in the USA and Whalen is rumored to be having his sentencing delayed because he's flipped on Clayton.https://www.indystar.com/story/news/investigations/2024/08/2...

My recommendation - you are 30 and a family of four - continue to save money until you feel comfortable in real estate.

I never investigated further.I always questioned his recommendations because at the price/rent point he was advocating, the maintenance/cap ex would consume too much of the rent unless actively self managed.  

To be honest I wanted to dissolve that LLC mostly because I didn't want to continue paying all the annual fees associated with it

Overall, though the cash flow in my market may be lower, the strong appreciation has made for a higher total ROI and I've continued to buy here. 

This approach allows for continuous growth and wealth accumulation.

There is no real estate involved; they are on a lease.My bank is currently looking at how much they can give us for a cash out refi of our rental condos, but we are trying to investigate all options.Thanks for any advice. 

Because of their strong brand, they couldn’t just resurface the next day with a new name and new logo and continue on, because people would know and not trust them.  

Not sure yet what strategy makes the most sense for me, but I'm here to continue to learn, grow, and network.
