The disadvantage here though is that I'd have to start the loan process all over again with a new lender...Thanks in advance for your help!

I appreciate any and all insights, and I’m looking forward to learning from this community.Thank you in advance for your responses!

For context, I have a Carrot site and can follow instructions, but am a total novice when it comes to websites, and no nothing about code.Thank you in advance to anyone that took time to read my post and provide advice/feedback.I was only able to take SEO to a certain level. 2 years ago we hired outside help.  

Thanks in advance! 

I have had this goal of buying my first duplex and have talked to real estate investors, realtors, lenders, appraisers and have been encouraged so much to where I am anxious to dive into this.Now that I am 18 I have absolutely no debt, a credit score of 727, I have 28k sitting in a certificate of deposit, a couple years of working consistently under my belt, I’ve also been investing in my Roth IRA, I feel very blessed to be in this situation.I am still in high school, I know it wouldn’t be smart to buy a house right now but something in me is so anxious to buy this house I know I have to have patience but I don’t know if I should start the process of getting pre approved, finding a good investor friendly realtor, lender, preparing my documents or if I should just wait.When analyzing deals in my market I have crystal clear real estate deal criteria my strategy is house hacking a duplex, price range of 500,000-600,00 in Salt lake, Utah! 

I am also 100% positive I am not the first...or second...or hundredth person to ask these questions but I ask here vs. finding others posts as I do enjoy fresh opinions while I start networking.Thank you in advance and I look forward to your suggestions! 

I've heard of Stessa, AppFolio, Buildium, etc. but a lot of them feel tailored towards LTRs and rent collection.Thank you in advance.

It is a simple question, one many of us see, but it is an advanced concept for flippers and knowing how to work within seasonality if it is a factor in your market.  

Turbo-tax is a software that has different versions(the more advanced versions allow for more capabilities and forms to be completed).The software, like any other, is only good as the input.Garbage in, garbage out.If your tax return is simple, someone with only W-2's and a few interest /dividend accounts, I think a software like turbo-tax is great.If your return is more complicated, I would consider working with an accountant.

We passed final inspections and have our Certificate of Occupancy.
