Quote from @Greg Gallucci: I'm starting to look into the Huntsville market.

I'd start talking to her and looking for another place for her to live. 

I'd be happy to give you some insight on the market here and get you some good contacts out here to start building a team.

It's pretty easy to see that real estate proces peaked around 2007-2008 and then crashed during the Great Recession.Around 2011-2012 prices started to recover and got back to their pre-Crash highs around 2015-2016, but really 2018-2019 when adjusted.So, why are newbies reading books written BEFORE 2019 and thinking that you can still successfully invest using the EXACT advice in these relatively "old" books?

Honestly, it seems like you’ve got more skin in the game than I do since I’m just getting started as a bird dog, but I really admire your approach.I think your focus on tax-efficient strategies and building a reliable team is spot on.

Originally this started as a house hack I have recently moved out and it is now a 2 unit with one half being furnished rental.

Wind is one of the subtle items that Insurance companies are starting to exclude. 

Fortunately for me, I started investing a time in the market where everything went up.  

I'm new here, and am ready to start investing my time into learning the strategies to get my first rental in 3 months.

Quick heads-up: Starting January 4, 2025, Pennsylvanias Act 52 requires anyone involved in wholesaling real estate to be a licensed agent.
