I only recently became licensed, so I would have a long way to go in order to comply with the 2-year experience requirement, but I have been an active investor for 5 years so I am wondering if I would fall within the 3 year exemption, below:- Have at least two years of experience as a licensed real estate salesperson or at least three years of experience in the general real estate field or a combination of both- Meet the minimum points required for the experience type (e.g., buying and selling your own property, managing property owned by your employer)Thanks in advance! 

I would project, 6 months, so if there are holding costs $2,270 a month (not including utilities), with utilities in about $2750.00. $2750x6 months= $16,500..

I have used both TSP loan and HELOC to purchase investment...I certainly thought the ROI from real estate was better than relying on highly fluctuating stock market. 

If you do your homework, follow your common sense formulas and use real rehab costs/expenses, there really is no such thing as a housing crisis. 

Though at 1525/mth it is projected to cashflow a little less than 100/mth  -- the numbers do not include what I like to call reality numbers (vacancy loss, maintenance, capex reserves).

Enough to make it a full time business? 

Since this will be our first long distance investment it feels like we're starting brand new and would love advice for first time long distance investors.

I would visit local meetups for real estate investing, and also network with agents in your area that work with a lot of investors.

We are working on our first flip house and we didn't plan to do the BRRRR method, although it has come up in conversation multiple times due to the area it is in, we are still tossing the idea around of keeping it as a rental.

I took the time to set it up and that property ended April 2024 at 100% occupancy.
