My sense of caution is also based on the world economy, which is so heavily based on debt/fossil fuel consumption and will have another serious downturn at some point; we just don't know when.

This makes it easy to know the costs, makes it easier for contractors, and faster.

It  sounds like  your sister and her husband may be looking for a younger and more hip vibe since she's a recent PhD grad, and I would imagine the rentals in those types of areas may go just as fast or faster. 

This means you can afford to cover the mortgage payments while the home is on the market, or you have enough equity to drop the price some from the market price to get the home sold faster, and you have enough equity to cover closing costs without having to write a check at closing instead of receiving one. 3) Are you looking to buy another house when you move?

You have to move faster to get a deal, but they are still there.

I am a first time flipper and I am looking to grow my money to buy more rental faster.

My passion for Real Estate is making me a better person and Bigger Pockets has been the catalyst fueling me, enabling me, and pushing me.  

How can I reach my goal much faster?

Think about how to become more efficient, how to do it faster, better quality at better prices. 

Basically its a streamlined process to allow you to get a license in another state faster.
