RARELY (if EVER) a positive post. 

If anyone wants more information about my POSITIVE experience with SDIRA, please feel free to DM me.

I'm not positive, but hopeful they would take a professionals word and help on that cost. 

Learned all the lessons needed on this one for sure.I am now feeling the positive pressure from the huge mistake and looking to leverage all the resources I can to make sure I do long-distance real estate investing the right way from here on out.GOAL: I plan to purchase 3-5 SFH to hopefully cashflow $2,500+ in the next 2-3 months.

This unique blend of economic opportunity and lifestyle appeal positions these cities as prime locations for both investment and personal residence.You mentioned Roan Mountain and Watauga Lake.. both are fantastic draws.

For someone in your position, starting small but strategic might be the best move.

We still see positive cash flowing deals here with appreciation potential at really affordable price points. 

I recommend people doing a side gig on what they specialize in.I am an accountant and when I worked within large public accounting firms, I had a side gig of bieng an accountant.I had a salary with my employer so regardless of how much more hours I put with them, i would be paid the same. 

Try to be positive and understanding since there were lots of factors that led to delays.

The key will be to remain flexible, understand the local market dynamics, and position themselves to take advantage of the eventual boom when the project comes to life in 2025.
