Hi @Ryan White - I wish that it worked like that.

The warranty company was Choice Home Warranty.

My partner and I love working with investors, and we enjoy advising them on estimating market rents, loss to lease, expected return on this vs. that renovation choices, etc.

VERY few ever achieve it Then ones who do it in a couple years are few and far between Your comment about paying taxes on flips reminds me of the guys I used to work with who would not take overtime because they said you just pay more taxes so I took all the overtime and everybody else’s overtime I invested the money in the flips and quit the 9 to 5 and retired at 47 30 years later they are still refusing the overtime and still working at the same jobs  I made my choices   You will make yoursI am guessing you are in your 20s   10 years from now you could be semi retired or you could still be here on BP taking about doing something   I hope you choose the later   Of history tells us anything you probably won’tI hope you choose to NOT be normal/average I made my choices You will make yours 

This choice does not give you the building of a real estate plan BUT if you buy a better location and more choice house (not the highest in the tract) you may financially be stronger in the long run.

I gave her two choices.

It seems many folks (but certainly not all) who move during these times are ones who do not plan ahead or are ones who have no choice.

Even if this is exciting, I am scared I may make a bad choice.

If you have a choice of buying a condo and SFR, I would recommend going with the SFR

Although N Winton, which is the area you picked, although not bad, would not be my first choice.
