Your brokerage is required to supervise you, and maintain all records of the transaction, just like any other client. 

Be mindful of recapture tax when selling but consider long-term strategies like a 1031 exchange.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I suggest that you make it a point of finding a good lender, not just someone who can do the job of helping your clients buy their home but someone who is willing to teach you.

Here’s how to find a broker you can trust:Ask for Referrals: Reach out to fellow investors or real estate agents for recommendations.Check Credentials: Look for brokers who are licensed and members of professional organizations, such as the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB).Review Their Track Record: Ask about their experience with real estate investment loans and request client testimonials.Interview Multiple Brokers: Prepare questions about their lender network, fees, and typical loan turnaround times.Evaluate Their Communication: Choose someone who listens to your needs and provides clear, honest advice.4.

Being highly analytical—perhaps to my own detriment—I recognize the need for guidance and support from a mentor to help me take the next step and actually pull the trigger on my first property. 

I will keep you in mind for any clients or myself!

@Arthur Savery, Many of our clients are taking a similar route. 

Huntsville is a challenging market given the price points but I've had clients find good success in the suburbs.
