I literally travel all over the world for work.

There's literally no advertising in the post at all, it's simply a news update on changes to UW guidelines...

I've been studying different real estate strategies and would love to understand more about how the permitting process is evolving in that area.Did the realtor mention any specific changes in local ordinances, or was it more of a general observation based on market trends?

Hi Sean, that is truly an interesting strategy that you are considering. 

The streamlined approach minimized holding costs and maximized efficiency, proving the power of our strategy in identifying and executing quick-turn deals.

Are there any strategies, tips, or potential pitfalls I should be aware of as I explore this market?

Things like this are why it's important to work with a professional who is well versed in real estate taxation because the "common/simple" strategies taught frequently like BRRR or house hacking actually get fairly complicated when it comes to handling it correctly. 

Lastly, while your exit strategy looks good, keep in mind that refinancing costs or delays may impact your timeline, so have contingency plans in place.

Happy to discuss this further on what might make the most sense for your end goal.If you are renting right now and starting your path in real estate investing, as said above, I really do like the house hacking strategy for your situation.

My recommendation is for your first MTR to get something that would be a decent LTR, this way you have a fallback strategy.
