Hi Everyone! I live in Lawrenceville, GA and am beginning my first house hack, working to purchase another property by the end of the year. Became a real estate agent after I fell in love with home ownership processes...

As both an investor and a mortgage broker who has personally used both options, I can say there are benefits to each.It ultimately comes down to comparing the two side by side based on your specific situation.

It would just need to be a situation where they have great contact with the person doing that managing of the project (I.e. have known the person for years, great reputation, person has experience in flipping etc.).

I personally know both @Jaclyn Cano and @Wale Lawal and can confidently say both are great and VERY Investor friendly!

By year 5 we had around 55 people.We did hire a marketing person but frankly marketing wasn't our strong suit. 

Is your goal to use being an agent for your own personal investments or actively try and grow your agent business to eventually leave your W2?

HELOCs are fine, but keep in mind that you really only want to use 50 percent of less (each) of your available equity just so you aren't creating a problem that you can't solve later if the value of your personal residences fluctuates.If you both have W2 jobs though, have you looked into getting qualified together and just getting a loan, 10 percent down each?

Personally, I find BTRs to be more predictable with fewer ongoing maintenance issues, and they tend to attract high-quality tenants.

Hello I'm looking for a good investor title company and/or real estate attorney in the Sarasota area if anyone can recommend someone they have used.

I have a 780 credit score and no debt besides my personal residence.
