My name is Jenna and my husband and I are just starting to dip our toes into the real estate world!

The PE investment feeding frenzy that started up 15 years ago as TOH parks started getting gobbled up is starting to slow as supply tightens. 

I am not sure about the other markets but I would suggest looking up a Realtor from here and utilizing their knowledge to help you. 

My brother and I have decided to join this community in hopes of getting a good start in the world of Flipping. 

The clock starts when you settle on the relinquished property, 45 days and 180 days. 

There was positive population growth, medium home price growth, low unemployment, good rent to home ratios, and low crime, all of which are factors when I start looking into an area to invest in.  

Congrats on getting the home and starting the process.
