Yale is a good starting point.

Would love to hear any tips & info that would help me get started!

BUT, the time to START acting is likely now.

Everyone does that a little when starting out but statically speaking spreading effort into multiple markets is not the best use of your time.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Well worth it and the best strategy to start in my opinion. 

Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

.- You mentioned this sale is tax free 121 exclusion, which is great, and seems like a solid start to your goal.- The townhouse you're moving into is currently a rental, but you plan to live there two years for the 121 exclusion.

I recently purchased my home in October 2023 (before starting my real estate investing journey), so I don’t yet have access to any substantial equity.

The terms may be more favorable, if you are just starting out a bank maybe nervous to do 3 at once, therefore their perceived risk will likely be reflected in less favorable terms.
