Give yourself a budget of perhaps two hundred dollars to spend on used books from Amazon.com and other sources.

Do you have a source article for this?

But I also want to get to the point where I'm not dependent on it as a primary income source.

Are income sources like capital gains excluded from qualifying for a mortgage?

Maybe you are early in the process and still learning, but recognizing a deal quickly is critical as is filtering out the junk without wasting too much time.

Your lender may also require you to get title insurance.Tip: As this process can be long, arduous, seemingly arbitrary, and is often critical to your homebuying transaction, try to prepare these documents (or at least figure out how to prepare them) in advance.

I own my own business but there is just something intriguing about buying, renting, flipping homes as an additional source of income.

The only downside to condos is that you have to pay HOA dues even if your condo isn't rented, so it goes from an income source to an expense really quickly.

He said he has buyers interested in land to build a 200-300 unit apartment complex if I can source it.

Thanks for sharing.If some one does 1 flip / year outside of other sources as secondary revenue stream / side gig, then it is OK.$30,000/year is less than average househould income in USA.
