I also invest mainly in Des Moines off you’d ever like to meet up reach out.

My 2 main goals with real estate is to start up a wholesale and rehab business along with acquiring many rental properties to build my passive income.

If it's purely/mainly from extra money you've put into it, then that hardly counts, right?

I’m looking at becoming a part time realtor along with mainly property management.

The major cons include high property taxes, difficulty finding positive cash flow (especially when using property management), and slow rent growth due to, among other things, rising supply of multifamily units being developed all around town.

So, with high demand and a fixed/limited supply of real estate, I'd expect Cedar Park to do better than the Pioneer Crossing area in appreciation and rent growth when buying a resale home over the near and middle terms.

I’ve come to realize that real estate assignments and double closings are not their primary business and my guess is maybe they’re swamped with whatever their main focus is.

These two ideas will balance themselves out and so we’ll still end up with housing demand outpacing supply. 

I reached out to one of my main contacts and he said that these programs no longer exist, sorry!

The main reason I decided not to do it myself, for now at least, is my reluctance to leave my full-time job.
