Most of my funds are in flips though, and small faction in stocks; i prefer some diversity, and cryptocurrency is another option to branch out too.

Pros: Diverse job market, low unemployment, great resilience during recessions, nice appreciation, 1% rule can be hit if you look hard enough, great economy, good schools, Midwest nice.Cons: Extreme weather at times (hot/humid summers, tornadoes/hail, brutal cold in Jan/Feb), high insurance premiums, property taxes also really high.

Then you are 'in the game' so to speak.

Most agents, I can tell you from experience, will not spend too much time on you since your so fairly new and at your purchase price your not a big fish so they will tend to put you on the back burner since heir return is not going to be a game changer.

Grateful to be part of this amazing community of go-getters and game-changers.

If you don’t like fixing houses, REI probably isn’t your game if you are making 40k a year.

It's a game to inflate each other's posts.Your DMs are probably absolutely stuffed right now.

That is the thing about the game we are playing....every job is diferent and you can count on absolutely nothing.

This can be a game-changer for fix-and-flips, buy-and-hold investments, or new development projects.For lenders, it can mean earning higher returns, often in the range of 8-12%, backed by the property itself.
