The biggest factor will be how long you plan to own the property or when you think you may refinance.

It means your house might be your biggest financial asset — and it could open up some exciting opportunities for your future.

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

i would never tell a random person on the internet where they should live. 

One of the biggest mistakes I see investors making is they forget to address things like HVAC, siding, etc when they have access to a hard money loan.

One of the biggest factors in successful flips is building a strong team: contractors, agents, lenders, and property managers. 

Do number, size, or area of investments owned play the biggest role in that decision? 

I think the biggest roadblock has been the lack of true testimonials of successful people in these programs.  

I would like to learn more about seller financing, I see a lot of information on the internet about seller financing but honestly I am just confused.

Your biggest resource will be from people.
