In my home market of Florida, our insurance rates have made it much harder to have positive cash flow on a CRE deal.

Quote from @Kristin Vegas: Hi bp. is it possible to do a HELOC on a house I purchased 6 months ago?

I posted on Facebook that I was looking to buy a flip, and a fellow agent sent me some details about a property she was going to list.

There are significant advantages to investing here (lower barrier to entry, much better price to rent ratio's, etc. etc.).

I look forward to learning everything there is to gaining financial freedom and becoming an investor. 

Hi All,  I've had several rolled roofs installed and never saw anything like this. 

I know a lot of investors have done very well in Peirce County but I just haven't learned or know enough about that market to make an investment there.Washington state properties are expensive and can be difficult to make breakeven let alone cash flow at this moment due to the combination of high prices and interest rates. 

This will give you a great front row seat to learn.

What this leads to is higher purchase prices but also higher rents in these areas. 

I would make sure you speak with a land use attorney on this
