Welcome to BP.My biggest piece of advice is to understand risk premiums in real estate.

If you're not sure of you preferred direction with your next property I would invest in understanding investing more thoroughly and read 5-10 books as well as speak to other experienced investors.

Won't be using them again on the next flip that's for sure. are you working directly with them or is this a broker who acts as a correspondent lender?

I've been doing some studying on short sales but still working to understand it better.

Love your mindset—real estate is a long game, and you're starting with the right attitude!

I have been trying to be understanding but it has been pushing too much.
