so, i just encourage you to be conservative and cautious. 

Buyers don't look for financing and its foreign so they don't jump on a forsale listing on zillow.I've had the best (only) luck with zillow rental adds,   starting with the pitch;  rent to own, live in a great home while you pay off owning it. 

@Corey Curtin has been a stellar agent for my clients.I heard things that involve the city like zoning/permits can take a while in Birmingham compared to other AL markets so I'd be cautious of that. 

Hey @Tom Dieringer, so the Expedia Group has a market cap of 21+ billion so I wouldn't worry too much about them.

Her credit isn't the greatest, but she's super sweet and a hard worker, so you are certain it will work out.

I have succesfully done this on IGMS PMS software.I would also make sure your email is listed on their VRBO account. you will then be able to get inquiries and messages on your email account so you know when someone messages.

Congrats for the success you had so far in Real Estate, Since you live in Houston and you're willing to HouseHack I think that will be the best option to go about it.

Spokane has recently changed zoning and development policies to be much more friendly to making additions so you won't be fighting too much red tape.

So you need to ask yourself: is this something I want to do?  

However, many states now require some version of a license to wholesale, so I'd identify a market first and then dig into their specific wholesaler requirements.
