Taking a break from the 9-5 grind to dive deeper into real estate investing!

Also, there are lenders that will quote really low rates that aren't possible in the current market and once you have paid for the appraisal and wasted a lot of your time, they will change the terms and up the rates because they figure you are in deep enough so you will go along with it. 

#2- have you done a deep dive on your research?

Quote from @Uzziel Cortez: Hello everyone,I am 31 years old and finally ready to dive into the deep end here.Looking over the strategies I think I want to start with Out Of State MTR / LTR strategy.My though is travel nurses or university students will be a good market / consumer base to tap into.I live in Orlando FL but looking at lower cost markets such as Texas or Indiana.Looking forward to hearing any tips yall might have for me.Thanks Welcome aboard.

After deep-diving into research about what wholesaling is, I've realized if successful it could be a great gateway to acquire the capital I need in order to buy other properties in my market.

I have seen too many investors create a truly beautiful property but a much higher end product that is out of the market norms cutting deep into their profits.

I am diving into wholesaling myself.  

@Rigel CagbabanuaHouse Hacking is the best way to dive into real estate.

the way section 8 works is different in every county across the US and I have been diving into the matter myself for an 8 unit I am considering putting into section 8 in St petersburg Florida.. but from my understanding you would ask whatever rent you are hoping to recieve and the tenant will tell you what their TTP or total tenant payment is and the county is responsible for covering the remainder of the lease as long as it is beneath their FMR fair market rent.

@JD MartinI think we'd need more info about the cleaning... it sounds like this was a "rent prep" cleaning from the primary conversion, and so maybe the PM felt the need to do some kind of deep clean?
