Your best bet is an agent who also invests.

I don't think it's a great strategy if you are just getting started.If you have the financial stability and experience to take on negative cash flow betting on the high appreciation then I think there isn't a problem with this strategy at all. 

Unless it has something to do with ad views I don’t see how it would hurt to have two separate forums, i bet it would help increase activity.

It's been pretty amazing watching the city's progress even since just then.

@Nam PhamContracts: Have a detailed contract outlining the scope of work, deadlines, payment schedules, and materials to be used.Updates: Establish a schedule for regular updates, such as weekly calls or video conferences, to discuss progress and any issues.Project Management: Utilize project management tools like Trello, Asana, to track progress, manage tasks, and store documents.Documentation: Request regular photo and video updates.

For primary residence #3, we bought in the path of progress; so, not a live in flip per se but similar in that we will get high organic appreciation and also add value through easy rehab such as refinishing floors and railings, replacing fixtures, improving landscaping, upgrading tile, etc.

As far as choosing a neighborhood - your best bet is to find a good investor-friendly realtor who can help you.

So in these historical areas you not only have to work with the city but also the historical societies.I don't think that any construction that the city approves they will later shut down while in progress.

I bet most realtors would tell you that it adds value too...whether for a sale or rental perspective....And have you heard the new dishwashers?

Since the population in these states is relatively small, many lenders avoid them.Face-to-face at local real estate clubs, found through Meetup, are your best bet.
