If so, what advice do you have for other real estate investors?

If you've got enough runway you could do a 1031 exchange into a nice investment property. 

Hi Grayson, with you mentioning conventional 5% down and FHA 3.5% down, it sounds like you are referring to a primary residence.Private Lending/Hard Money Lending is usually on investment property (We can do primaries but it is highly regulated & varies state to state so most refrain from it.)If you are looking to get into a flip, long term loan, whatever it may be.If you have no experience & a solid fico, rule of thumb is 20% down.Hope that helped :)

Did you do the work yourself or have good General contractors?

Also id love to hear from you whats not working or what your struggling with .For me, hiring a few Vas to cold call has been paying off, text messaging is doing decent. 

I was doing 80% of the rehab myself because it was my first one, and I broke my ankle about 75% through. 

Just do what needs to be done to rectify the situation, and proceed to the next issue. 

@Bradley SnyderNever done it but I would guess there are homes that do not have insurance that get destroyed and homeowners will walk from them.

And do not charge or have minimal charges to provide this feature?
