Hey Samantha,There are a couple of things to keep in mind:1.

I did shoot you a DM of a couple I think could help you that isn't listed above.

One of the most important skills you didn't mention is networking, which you are obviously doing well at too.I'd recommend connecting 1:1 (zoom, coffee. lunch, etc.) with a couple from the BP Chicago community or better yet check out some of the local meetups: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...Make friends with the meetup hosts...they will often know whos who and can help you make the right connections.Regarding your license, I think it's a great idea if you have the time and are going at it with the right intentions. 

New construction is up, a couple luxury neighborhoods (500k+) and a couple new mid sized apartment complexes (1000+ f/ 1 bedroom).

You should have separate LLCs and separate bank accounts for flips and rentals. 

I've only owned a couple sfh am middle-aged and not sure I agree with flipping sfh at this point to create wealth, time freedom and passive income so I have been reading and there seems to be a lot of talk with multi-families and more specifically apartment investing.

Add a couple of chargers, no problem. 

Either live in or rent out for a couple of years?

There might be a couple of exceptions I can think of in DFW area. 

I do have a few markets in mind that I’m interested in, including where I currently live and a couple of out-of-state spots that my partner and I love.
