My wife and I have been talking about doing something like this = rental properties, flipping, house hacking, etc. for some time and after we sold our house towards the end of last year (made a good profit) are finally in a position to pursue it.I am super-focused and excited on wanting to learn as much as I can and start this journey to financial freedom.

In December the roof was finally repaired, however the damage to the ceiling has not. 

The tenant in question moves out in June, I'll update you all on the final outcome.  

Finally, any advises or tools on how to better manage the development process, track expenses and monitor budget?

I’ve been listening to the BiggerPockets podcast daily on my commute and finally decided to jump into the forums to learn, connect, and start taking action.A little about me:I work as a Substation Design Engineer and currently live near the Jersey Shore.I’m focused on learning about house hacking, buy-and-hold rentals, and creative financing strategies.Right now, my biggest challenges are:Understanding the best financing options for a first-time investor.Finding a solid market near me that aligns with my budget and goals.Learning how to analyze deals with confidence.If anyone has tips, resources, or experiences they’d be willing to share, I’d love to hear them!

For projects with 150 or fewer units, the city has 60 days for eligibility review and 90 days for final approval, including design review.

I am curious to get opinions on which dates are considered the 30 days of notice and am I obligated the return the final 2 weeks?

I've been a long-time watcher from the sidelines, and I'm finally ready to start making some real estate investments in South Florida.

My Name is Miles, currently living in Arlington (DFW Area), I've always had intentions of at some point getting into real estate, now at 40, and finally at a place financially that it is feasible, I'm planning on spending the next 6-8 months learning all I can (and then rest of my life continuing learning lol) before taking the FIRST plunge.

And finally, What are some common mistakes new real estate investors make, and how can I avoid them?
