If I NEED to sell within five years, this calculation provides insight into the real-world return that incorporates these vital aspects of the investment.I want a balance between steady cash flow and long-term appreciation potential.

I'm looking to transition into the world of property mgmt.I just passed my real estate exam, and now it's time to find a broker to hang my license with.

In my experience trying to raise capital from people within the real estate community doesn't seem to be the best method because most people in real estate are more interested in building their own businesses, rather than investing in someone elses (especially when considering how much money it takes to invest in syndications).

Hi Joseph,Shelby, NC presents some interesting opportunities for real estate investment, but it also has some potential challenges to consider. 

Of course, you have to be certain that the town has issued a license for the number of used cars for sale. 

Quote from @Jackson Ebersole: Hi Piper,It's always smart to flip properties in-state, and I'd like to share some updated insights on why this approach is beneficial, especially in the New Jersey area.Lenders typically feel more comfortable with in-state flips because:You can manage the rehab more easilyYou have better knowledge of local real estate trends and valuesYou can respond quickly to issues or make decisions fasterThere's a lower risk of fraud or being taken advantage of by distant partnersI can help you with recommendations for the New Jersey market:North Bergen: Continues to show strong potential, with average profits now around $150,000 per flip and a gross ROI of 85%.Willingboro: While specific flip numbers aren't available, the market remains active with a gross ROI now averaging around 130%.Gloucester City: Still a top performer, with gross ROI hovering around 180-190%, though still on smaller profit margins.Irvington: Home values have continued to rise, with a 20% increase over the past two years.East Orange: Has seen steady growth, with home values up by about 16% since 2022.Paterson: Experienced a 14% increase in home values over the last two years.Additionally, Jersey City and Newark have emerged as promising markets for flips, with strong appreciation rates and growing demand.
