@Jordan AikensHouse hacking is a great strategy for new real estate investors.

I also currently did a hard money loan for 500k at a 10% return to a friend of mine who does flips.  

Hi, my name is Jamie just starting out my experience of real estate.

Should Real Estate Agents who are leaving the Industry due to NAR Settlement become Wholesalers? 

In CS2 trading, raising funds to acquire rare skins is pretty common, especially if you're looking to flip them for profit.

So if you could gc them yourself, you could force some equity on the new construction deals and the new construction ones might be a no brainer.The other question I'd have is whether you're getting deals on the pre-existing homes.Ultimately, its going to be real tough to scale either one if you're paying retail because if you're buying 250k homes and putting down 20 to 25%, you'll run out of cash real quick. 

Is the property listed with a Real Estate Professional?

Their wife’s trust fund is the “real” buyer.5.

I am a real estate broker, builder and lender, if you need any feedback evaluating any of your future projects, don't hesitate to reach out.

If someone truly believe that the 17% is real and they could borrow money at a smaller interest rate, using the fungible nature of money, the person would take a loan to get into that deal, but a feel most people would not risk there primary residence on a deal like that.
