Being a realtor as a real estate investor is not required, but can provide a massive advantage if leveraged properly. 

@Jason VelieCareful planning is required for you to take advantage of the benefits provided by qualified opportunity zones.There are a couple requirements of a QOF1) Using capital gains to fund the business2) buying a property within a qualified opportunity zone3) proper allocation of business assets(QOZ property vs non-QOZ property)4) Proper amount of rehabilitation done to the property5) holding periodGood luck!

Just put down earnest money on a new construction 3/2 SFH. Received amazing builder incentives to take the last lot for the smallest floorplan in the neighborhood including paid closing costs. Not exactly the BRRRR I ...

It’s certainly not taking advantage of anyone to provide a nice, well maintained park for them to live in.

Here is an excerpt from your state AG's office:Facing Mortgage Foreclosure | The Office of Attorney General Keith Ellison /**/Beware of ScamsUnfortunately, scam artists often attempt to take advantage of people in vulnerable financial situations such as default or foreclosure.

I think if you look at the advantages and the numbers you will see the more doors you have the better and safer your investment is. 

If anything, we're seeing a continually stronger market shift towards the seller's as more people are trying to take advantage of the current interest rates.

I understand there’s more to it with commissions, expense etc but I want to just get a ball park to see if it’s even worth considering selling to take advantage that we lived in it for 2 years.

But i have been looking into the concept of lease options as another tool in my tool belt.My understanding so far, this may work to your advantage in  your situation.

So the advantage is in favor of the LL.
