Hi Beau, it sounds as though you guys are looking in a desired neighborhood as well. 

Well, there are multiple moving pieces.

It can work really well or really bad. 

Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions as well.

The fact that you have already owned and sold a rental property gives you a great experience to start from.In terms of the best place to invest - that is whatever place meets your criteria, goals and investing style.Personally flips have not been working as well for me lately, but when we get the right BRRRR deal those are still working well.

Aloha, I hope this message finds you all well!

Over-budgeting is critical to ensure that renovations don’t eat into your profits.Market Fluctuations: If property values in your area do not appreciate as expected, or if you face a market downturn, the amount you can refinance for may be lower than anticipated.Financing Challenges: Securing financing for the initial purchase and rehab, as well as refinancing after the property is rehabbed, may be challenging, particularly if the property is located in an area with fluctuating values or if the rehab work doesn’t immediately improve the property’s appraised value.Tenant Risk: Rent collection and tenant management can be unpredictable.
