I am a new investor looking for opportunities to invest in real estate, especially wholesaling, rental properties, and fix and flip.

Instead, consider a HELOC or home equity loan to fund repairs, as the interest may be deductible if used for home improvements.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

And maybe diversify a little, invest half in a low cost S&P500 fund like VOO and the split the rest across 2 or 3 syndications.

Can you knock on someone's door and be "likeable" and get invited inside?

Tampa can work, but yes, taxes and insurance are higher and might keep cash flow tight.

Hi, I’m a full-time Real Estate Investor and mainly invest in Frederick and Washington counties.

So relax, and don't take yourself so seriously!

Buying a large new build home can also work well as a house hack as you can charge a premium rent, and generally most bedrooms built now a days have en suites (at least in my market).  

House was purchased August 2024 6k sq ft 9 bedroom distressed home for 66k ARV around 330k in the middle of renovations all of the sudden the bank accounts are frozen and we now have no funds to finish renovation.
