The garage and the fact that a long term tenant was in place paying market rent.

My main goals with these initial projects are:1.Gaining valuable insights into the local market.2.Getting hands-on experience with out-of-state investing, particularly when it comes to remodels and managing from afar.3.Testing the entire BRRRR process to see if it’s the right strategy for me long-term.If all goes well, I’d love to scale up and explore multi-family projects.

I also allowed the fear of others to take me away from my long term goals.

Leverage your construction skills for flips, start with smaller projects to minimize risk, and consider house hacking or long-term rentals for a steady income.

There are also a large number of accountants we work with who say that as long as it is done at arms length as a business like transaction then they are fine with it. 

I’m torn between going the wholesaling route or sticking with long-term rentals. 

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

We have 3 long term rentals now and we can’t decide if it would be a better investment to go short term or stay long term. 

Do not have this conversation at 8:00 PM on a weeknight after a long day.
