For what it's worth, I'm no longer insurance licensed since I took my practice fee only.

Specifically, I'm interested in hearing your recommendations for:- Deal sourcing and lead generation- Cold calling and outreach- Deal analysis and ARV calculations- Estimating rehab costs- Tools or calculators you use to determine whether a flip is worth pursuingFor deal finding, I’m currently evaluating PropStream and Flipster as a beginner.

BUT for certain rural areas it's worth it's weight in gold because of the reliability factor vs an unreliable or expensive existing utility structure. 

They may cost approximately 10% of your rental income per month, but may be worth it when you are residing out of state. 

Probably wiser to deploy just a bit more ($1.2 mm - $1.3 mm) and try and get a 3 or 4 unit property via FHA.Jersey City is very hot right now and certainly worth exploring, but have you also considered Brooklyn, Queens or the Bronx? 

@Jared Leggett Also remember you're still really young.

You would want to know if anything was ever built on the land (maybe a house burned down) because if there was a house then you would have potentially buried septic or oil.Buying and holding a lot for the future with topographical issues is only worth it if the price is negligible IMO.

If you don’t qualify as a real estate professional or don’t have a way to use those passive losses to offset your active income, then spending the money on the study might not be worth it.

Home now worth 550+.

It was much more stressful and not worth it IMO.
