Moving from Miami to Ashburn is a big change, and it’s great that you’re diving into real estate investing.

The markets you mentioned in your initial post in this thread are great markets, but they're all heavy on appreciation and light on cash flow.

My clients are mainly real estate developers, PE funds and individual investors doing syndications and my core skill is in real estate valuation / due diligence across real estate asset classes. 

House hacking is often promoted as the easiest way to get into real estate—buy a property, rent out part of it, and let tenants cover your mortgage.

It's also helpful to consult a local real estate agent to understand market trends, including demand, vacancy rates, and rental growth patterns.

Ok so a diff path then my previous post.I also wanted to invest in real estate but just assume( and bet is probably true) that most of the people that find truly good investments have  either or all of the following the most "average joes" don't:1.

Who do they have to answer to or do they just get to run amok and do whatever they want, no matter how unreasonable? 

The systemic trouble is in a few high growth markets in the US.  

Hi Joesph, It’s awesome that you took the leap into fix-and-flips and already have your first deal hitting the market soon—huge milestone!

Get familiar with the local market trends and property values.
