Hi @Joe Scheffold, you mentioned in the headline that this is a short sale but I don't see that referenced in your body.

Hey everyone I’m working on a house flip and ran short of money.

PS: i know cash is king but still paying a mortage vs short term HELOC interest rates and ability of rinse and repeat... 

You will also learn to appreciate when a real estate agent is actually doing their job correctly, vs the large number of agents who just show up and do the bare minimum.What prompted me to take the course was that my first agent was not very good, but I couldn't actually truly assess and understand that without knowing myself, now I can confidently say that she wasn't very good, (lucky me, lol).Short Answer: There's not a glaring reason I can think of to not educate yourself on it, even if just for education's sake.I can't provide info on the 2nd part as I'm just not as familiar with specific MA to CT reciprocity and requirements.

That roadmap, as of right now, is outlined.Learn - Keep FTJ (Full Time Job)Books, podcasts, BP, peopleFTJ and PTJ options: Go back into being a residential handyman and contractorWholesale - Keep FTJRamp up Wholesaling, possibly until either quitting or finding a PTJ to offset Wholesaling goal - raise capital to flip laterPlataeu Wholesaling, ramp up Flipping while ramping down WholesalingPlataeu Flipping, ramp up Buy-and-HoldLong Term Goal: rental portfolio with extra capital to invest in othersMy motivation does include swinging hammers (I love the physical work), but I recognize that won't be where I need to put myself to make money past the short-term (and my body won't be able to do that forever).

I have found a lot of good resources already in my short time here!

After flipping some 25 properties, I realized that buying and holding would probably build more wealth and cash flow, rather than paying those high short term taxes.

Whereas I believe I could get between $100-125 per night for the place during the off season and potentially more during peak periods doing short-term Airbnb rentals.

So instead of music radio switch to Bigger Pockets Podcasts!

I have gained substantial equity but don't want to pay capital gains and have been in the home for a short time (about a year).
