I am a new investor with one deal under my belt.

Burns’s data.The median listed price for a house jumped 24% in January from a year earlier in the metropolitan area surrounding Allentown, the Rust-Belt city whose decline was memorialized in a 1982 Billy Joel song, according to data from Realtor.com.

I have many construction loans under my belt as a mortgage broker.  

I think there's plenty of good options for someone like you who has a bit of experience under their belt and is looking to get into some new strategies.

I appreciate the sun belt advice, that’s great. 

@Damon Lloyd Hi Damon, I'm a newer investor myself with one deal under my belt and working on my 2nd. 

.* Our children can inherit the houses and most likely have an easier time selling them.My questions are:* This strategy seems realistic, especially since we already have 13 under our belt, is this strategy realistic?

in parts of the northeast rust belt housing prices peaked in the 80s early 90s and still have never got back to those levels.then of course you have the out migration of home owners to the burbs and inner city is all rentals and low income and values plummet.

I've been using TaskRabbit as a platform, and since I'm interested in flipping homes down the line after getting 3-4 multifamily homes under my belt, I want to collaborate with flippers in South Florida.

We just wanted to get one under our belt to see if we like it.I plan to start a post outlining our process so others can see - and learn from - our mistakes, LOL!
