Low skilled workers are the first to be laid off and the last to be rehired.

this is my first ever mortgage and I've never had to pay rent so this is definitely going to be an adjustment for me, but I've been wanting to do this for the last 4-5 years now and i figured the best way to get into it is to jump right in!

With actual cash, you just transfer it. yes, but you can still bid with lender approval - without appraisal contingency - you send in deal (app), it gets approved by lender its functionally the same as cash (except in true lightning speed situations where there is a quick auction with little time to prep but thats generally pretty rare I'd think)Right, but that's not cash or functionally the same as cash because the lender can change the terms at the last minute, as often happens with less experienced hard money lenders.

Last deal i closed was a word of mouth deal

1. close my last new build for the year. 

I am very excited To have finally closed on my first investment here in Liverpool NY as a 19-year-old investor as of last week and be auditioning for the Bigger Pockets rookie podcast this Monday!

@Adrian Rae my last two purchases the seller was 1031 exchanging.

Maybe your last value assessment was for 250k. 

Keep in mind, though, if you just sell outright, you could be looking at capital gains and depreciation recapture, so it’s worth crunching the numbers with a proper tax professional (I’m not one, by the way).What do you think the rest of the community has seen happen to property values since last year, and do you believe it changes the 1031 conversation?

Lastly, I sent you a connection request and would love to learn more from you!
