I actually just drafted a short agenda that includes capital contributions, and which niche we want to concentrate on.Thanks @Paul Timmins I am for sure going to attend more local REIA meetings.  

If nothing else the pace is just a tiny bit (not much) slower and the confusion can be just a little less. 

My SFH has appreciated around 15K since I bought earlier this summer - I had initially planned to keep a close eye on the market and likely wait around a year to refinance and pay off the HELOC if it keeps at this pace.

I think it might be because the city is somewhat tapped out due to the high property demand of the last few years that there really isn't much left but to go into areas that are presumably gentrifying, but actually aren't, or if they are, not at the pace that other cities would.  

I don't know that Baltimore is better than any place else for flipping but I believe it is one of the best paces in the country for buy and hold.

The Central Texas housing market remains strong and continues to move at a demanding pace.”Here are basic stats on single-family home sales for June 2018 for the City of Austin and the greater Austin area:So far, Austin's affordability and housing supply challenges have not reached a level significant enough to cause short-term worries about the market's sustainability.

Ive calculated that at my current pace it would take about 2 years from now to save enough for an FHA 3.5 - 5% down to get a house hacking duplex. then i would do any value adding repairs over then next 1-2 years to refinance out of PMI and ideally rent out my live in unit to generate cash flow then repeat with a new duplex/triplex.Getting my license, finding a mentor and co listing deals on the weekends may help speed up that process.

Ask them about the specific requirements, licence, experience, hours, pace, etc...

I believe from new information from NAR we might be seeking leveling off of increasing prices , or better said pressure on pricing  increasing ...What are your thought...
