Thanks @JD Martin , That is a good point about are they even worth it especially when you consider the roots.

It sounds like a solid deal, but there’s much more to consider before taking on significant debt.Here’s my advice for anyone new to real estate investing, especially young investors:Properly Vet the Deal: Ensure the numbers are accurate.

They can take up a lot of your time, so it’s good to understand what you’re getting into before diving in.If you're interested in turnkey mid-term rentals, Cleveland is definitely a market to consider.

@Brandon MorganTo buy your second property sooner, consider conventional loans with a 5-20% down payment, house hacking with an ADU, Home Equity Line of Credit, or cash-out refinance.

I recommend finding a tax strategist who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

@Amanda SkipperTo find reliable property managers and agents for remote work, consider factors like experience with investors, local market knowledge, and remote buyer experience.

You should only consider switching when your current software has a significant flaw or lacks features that force you to spend excessive time on workarounds.

. #5 hits the most for me, as I’ve had and have many clients that either exit as a refi or a sale, but don’t consider the future value/costs based on that true future value or completion timelines.

I am a realtor in NW Indiana and seriously considering doing my first flip.  

As far as financing, I have considered  1) an FHA loan with a cosigner, and 2) going off market and approaching many owners about potentially seller financing.Any and all feedback, advice, and info on potential pitfalls would be appreciated!
