@Logan Jorns I think you are very wise to take a break and reconsider.

@Brandon ProctorIf you truly want to turn the home you built into a rental after you move I'd really reconsider your options.  

But we have reconsidered that and feel we might do better offering both lots together, selling it as one very large lot (almost 2 acres). 

Flipping is very high risk, all real estate investing is high risk, if you are not prepared to accept that you can lose all your investment you should reconsider investing.

I have learned that there's plenty of affordable housing right in your neck of the woods, so I may have to reconsider and stay local.

If interest rates go up to 10% (and I didnt invest in PA) I would certainly reconsider, but under my laws, a 1% admin fee isnt worth it.

However, on a buy and hold, I might reconsider.

Money ebbs and flows, investors don't have an endless supply of time or money, so you need to have the deals ready when they are ready to take them down.One last thing, I might reconsider your assignment fee. 10% of your asking price is a lot of money for simply getting a contract and assigning.

The cost of the new regulatory burdens will outweigh remaining in the business of personal property financing.We seek HUD’s assistance in guiding the states to reconsider the application of their amended laws and focus on the intent and purpose of the SAFE Act: (i) to license individuals (not to create new licensing requirements for already sufficiently regulated entities); and to (ii) create uniformity and reduce regulatory burden.Implementation of the SAFE Act through NMLSR is not Meeting its Minimum Goals.

See the crazy lady's post below:LANDLORDS..... keep in mind when you say NO PETS you ARE discriminating AGAINST disabled people with therapy pets BEFORE they have even had a chance to get into your building.. like the blind who has a therapy dog, or the elderly who might have a therapy cat, or the CHILD who might have special needs only his therapy dog can do... and THEY CAN AND WILL SUE YOU to own the property you are trying to rent... so reconsider renting to them that way you collect the money from them and retain your property instead of losing the property to them for DISCRIMINATION... cause i have had enough of being discriminated against and i hope all DISABLED people with THERAPY PETS ban together!!
