Sounds like there were some lean years but your persistence has paid off big time in terms of appreciation on both rents and home value.

Reach out to real estate investors through LinkedIn, Instagram, or networking events for further advice and resources.Good luck!

HiI Agree with the advice above.Start networking with investors.

Quote from @Tom Server: I’m looking for advice on the best way to access about $100k to pay off my 401k loan, credit card debt, and cover some rehab costs.Here the information-  I purchased 2 properties last year, 1 is a rental property that i had for about 8 months, the balance of the mortage is 170k, worth around 300k .

Your job, your savings, sounds like you have a supportive dad, you live in a place you evidently love, you’ve had exposure to the business.

My biggest advice when designing a vacation rental is to truly know the daily activities, habits, and needs of your target guests.

I wish the advice was more glamorous or slick like a lot of the gurus will tell you.

Your experience as a real estate agent, coupled with your technical expertise, makes you a strong asset to the local investment community.Your “live and flip” strategy and focus on PML partnerships sound like a smart approach to building your portfolio.
