You'll also need to show stable income for the past two years through W-2s or tax returns.Talk to 3-5 lenders to compare their rates, fees, and terms.

Compare wear thickness(the top layer) and overall thickness.

Am I being harsh by letting this owner go? 

I’m not focused on volume, but rather on maximizing the assignment fee per deal, compared to doing multiple smaller deals to achieve the same result.My question is: Where can I find sellers with messy titles?

I'm also concerned older homes have already seen their biggest jump in capital appreciation and don't have as much potential for price growth compared to newer homes.What are your thoughts on older homes?

@John Kirtley It's definitely gone up a lot in value, but you can compare the values to Folly or Isle of Palms (Sullivans isn't really comparable) to see the future growth.

Or we gradually perform high-quality updates for a live-in flip, then roll the equity into a new home.Regarding rental income, we aim to boost income, lower our effective tax rate by generating more low tax-drag income with rental income (since there’s not much we can do to lower out W2 tax bills) and have retirement cash flow.To compare the financial impact over 10-20 years, we want to analyze renting versus flipping.

I’m definitely working hard to create a solid foundation for both my family and my investments, and it’s encouraging to connect with like-minded people who are exploring real estate as well.You’re absolutely right about Section 8 housing, the stability of cash flow is definitely a big draw for me, especially with the U.S. market being more accessible in terms of affordability compared to Canada.

As our team has grown, it's become easier to cover responsibilities if someone quits, goes on vacation, or if we terminate employment, compared to when we had one or two homes. 

After I joined there was one very specific, honest review by Zach Harsh and boy did he get slandered for it.
