@Audrey Sommer I prefer investing in my local market (Snohomish County).

.): ~$35K (assuming 8%)Total Cost: ~$375K–$385KProjected Profit: $65K–$75K before taxesThat is a decent margin, but this being a two-year project, you need to be sure the market doesn't shift downward, and that you have a buffer for unexpected costs.3.

Austin is a fantastic market, with its growing tech presence and vibrant culture, making it a great choice for your future career. 

Next property will find a professional Realtor who is experienced with marketing their listings and closing deals.

Hello,I'm from Canada and looking to get into the US real estate market.

I have found a good market and have built a good team thus far and I'm ready for my first flip.

We do them here in Phoenix market.

IMO better options- If you don't need the money in the next 10+ years look into Annuities I'm seeing 7-9% and you don't have to participate in market downturns.

FICO is 780+ and currently have 4 other investment properties including 2 STRs in the same market we are trying to close on in West Virginia.

Many investments that seem to promise higher than market returns do so because of higher than market risk.
