@Jonathan Bombaci thanks for the warm welcome!

One idea I have floating around my mind is to buy a couple of vacation homes in warm places that aren't Minnesota (where I am from), to satisfy a few things, one, provide passive income, two, add an additional asset to my portfolio, and three, provide a home that my family and I may enjoy as well. 

@Dmitriy Fomichenko thank you for the warm welcome and the tips on getting started. 

I have been contacted by a family member out of state in NC I’m in San Diego he wants to sell fast and get out and it needs a lot of work and I’ve already told him that it will I have a warm referral for a contracting company and have a rough estimate of the ARV off of Zillow and Redfin of about 85k it’s a seller Market in the area but it is my first flip and out of state so was reaching out to see any tips and things I need to make sure off in order to continue and if I should just wholesale instead?

However another angle would be to find a connection and get a warm introduction to these owners. 

I am very excited to get started and appreciate the warm welcome.  

@James Wise Thank you for the warm welcome!

main driver here is how bad the covid thing really is and whether we can contain it here. it appears elderly are at most risk. with the warm weather coming, this hopefully will assist in reducing the spread. for once, we might actually prefer a hot summer. 

He was calling to warm us about these crazy inflated rates. 4.9!!

He had had his LOC called with out warming.
