@Jade Frank,Congrats on making the decision to start your REI journey. 

And also, know everything about operating real estate, if you really want to know the risks: business plan, financing structures, ability to execute, market research to vet their underwriting assumptions, how fees can influence investment decisions...3.

I already have an investment analysis workbook built that tells me everything I need to know to make a purchase decision, NOI, COC, ROI, and if the property will achieve the appropriate coverage ratio to be funded. 

Prospective investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses, and should consult with a tax or legal adviser before making any investment decision. 

It’s an item in our roadmap, but maybe I just need to prioritize it to the top of the list in 1H 2024.Bottom line is that I allowed us to stop supporting it several years ago, in a decision I wish I could have back. honestly, I used to use the app personally as well.

But in reality, holding on too tightly limits growth, causes burnout, and actually costs you money.Why Letting Go Helps Your Bottom Line✅ Frees Up Your Time – Instead of handling every single tenant issue, you can focus on strategy, acquisitions, and big-picture decisions.✅ Allows Specialists to Do Their Jobs – A leasing agent will lease faster than an investor juggling 10 different tasks.

It could give you peace of mind as you focus on your family and move to your new home, without the additional stress of managing a second property from afar.Best of luck with your decision! 

Ideally flipping to build up some capital then holding when it makes sense.P Peter, I am a local hard money lender with direct decision making, underwriting, in house valuations, and soft pull on credit.

I have a full time W2 that I'm passionate about, so I feel this process will allow me to time to make sound decisions as opposed to quick fix n flips.

Would love to hear any experiences in more investor friendly markets like Florida, Alabama, Ohio, Georgia, etc.Moved from Portland OR to Columbus Ohio to real estate invest and it's been the best decision I've ever made lol
