I don't just deal with just any ol' buyer that claims they have the means to close.Remember, Those that do get these high-quality deals have no issues getting them sold.

All that said, I completely agree on your view of pre / post covid deals.

As I dive into my investment journey, I find myself eager to explore markets outside the commonly discussed realms and would like to completely avoid California and New York.

I know i can claim my short term rental income as active income as long as 1. avg rental is < 7 days 2. spent more than 100 hours managing it.If I have other long / mid-term rentals, does the active business status carry over to other property's rental income?

I invest primarily in those so called West Texas dying towns that you think is completely fossil fuel reliant.

So I am not completely new to RE.

I'm not a licensed GC yet, but owner builder in CA allows us to hire as w-2 to complete the renovation.

I own one storage facility that is a dump (but it makes really good money) and I want to completely overhaul and modernize it but the prices don't make sense right now.

Hey Carlos, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

Just completed my first lanf flip.
