Sounds like a smart kid!

It sounds like you're navigating a bit of a complex situation with your Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation loan and PMI removal.

It sounds like you're in a good position to evaluate your options carefully.

@Anthony Bertolino Sounds like you own some bitcoin?

Hey Quentin, It sounds like you’re in a solid position to start your real estate investment journey, especially with the equity you’ve built up in your home and your ability to handle renovations.

It’s not as bad or expensive as it sounds.

@Josh LemonsThey have a regulation A offering which is open to accredited and non accredited investorsThe great thing is they have to submit their offering circular and have it qualified by SEC as well as submit financial information etc.All this means is the information is readily available and if you do not understand it then I recommend engaging an attorney who can interpret it.

While it sounds like you currently are not in the area, one great meetup is "Minneapolis Real Estate Investor Meetup".

You may or may not wish to fix it since its likely too late to charge the last tenant's security deposit for it and also that it sounds so minor that people didn't even notice it right away.

To me, it sounds like you'd be better off buying something closer to town that's more suitable for a rental.
