I work in Philadelphia and Delaware County as a Licensed agent that specializes in wholesale for REI opportunities.

Would love any insight and advice from the bigger pockets community.Also, I would love the opportunity to add value in any way possible to investors in the Minneapolis area.

An opportunity to move from the Buffalo, NY area to the Rochester, NY area has just come up with my husband's new job offer and we're trying to figure out our next move and if it's time to try our hand in real estate.

If you believe that things are as they always will be, (first you should look at the past and see if that is a reasonable assessment of what the future brings) then taking into account: limitations on what you can invest in, your Solo 401(k) "projected" growth, fees & hidden fees, you can't co-mingle funds, you have to carefully manage the process, future tax increases, tax law changes, a national debt that is north of $22 Trillion dollars, unfunded liabilities and and of course inflation, along with possible "bail ins" then you are well equipped to decide if that is a good choice for your style of investing.However, If you are an "opportunistic investor" . . . . you jump at the opportunity when it arises, then you run into some conflicts.

Take every opportunity you can get to visit another investors project ans pick his or her brain about the repair numbers.

My wife and I have the opportunity to keep our current home and rent it out while we purchase a new primary residence.

I have approached by Ash Hoss at New Western and he approached me with a Sell and Buy opportunity and l would appreciate any feedback.

I have an opportunity to buy 5 duplexes for 500K (5@100K each).

With an opportunity like that you may want to consider this area for now. 

I get more use out of big data in other investment categories, which provides a nice baseline for the kind of returns I should expect on real estate, before it's too much effort.Granted, there are a million opportunities out there.
