Feel free to ask if you’d like more tips on what to look for in a PM. 

However, I don’t yet have the funds for a down payment on another house, and I’m trying to figure out the best option for where to live while I rent the apartment.Do you have any recommendations for managing this transition or tips on finding a temporary place to stay?

@Bridget HustonWelcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Investors like me are left sifting through overpriced junk instead of finding real opportunities.Pro Tip: The average wholesale contract is for a 30 day "inspection", while the wholesaler looks for a buyer.

Share your stories, tips, and insights!
