#McCormickI have some Youtube videos (link in my profile) that will help with some of your questions and I'd be happy to have a call to help walk you through the market and what you should consider when looking here.

I own a wellness facility, but also invest in real estate, and help investors.

Welcome Alana, you will find a lot of helpful people on this platform.

Instead you will cash flow right out of the gate and appreciation is faster in those states with TLC properties or adding things like an ADU, or Carriage home on a bigger lot.Most of my investors that live in CA purchase in those states listed above and in most cases its easy to introduce them to local Seasoned realtors Contractors, Handy Men/Women that can help them save money and feel secure about the distance from home to REI.

Why ask: You want to know the mentor’s qualifications, expertise, and track record in the specific area you need help with.

I am in it and feel it is worth it as they have groups all over the country who, with experience transaction coordinators and funding groups, and even closers to help you along the way.

Most lending is based on cashflow, not the 2% rule (although still a good rule of thumb for some types of investments), might have the most help from the group if you provided some of those details here just so it'd be easier for us to help you best. 

Destin is a great spot for house hacking—tourism is strong, so renting out part of your property could help with the mortgage.

Hope this helps!

Look forward to helping you in any way possible in the future.
