@Carlos Villalta Hey, Carlos, I'm in Orange County and I work the I.E. and Texas. 

Is there any advice for the Jacksonville/Orange Park/Middleburg area, or anyone selling something that we can work a deal with?

Historically, housing has been a crucial driver of the business cycle, with low-interest rates boosting demand for homes and supporting construction jobs and consumer spending.Conversely, rising rates tend to dampen the housing market and lead to a slowdown in economic growth.

It's great to hear that you're excited about your new role as a sales associate with Networth Realty and are enjoying the process of learning and networking in the industry.As a sales associate, your role will be crucial in connecting investors with distressed properties that have the potential for profit through flipping or renting.

Sales is crucial in any level of real estate and life.

However, over half of the allocation is being directed towards enforcement staff meaning that the IRS will likely increase their search for red flags in tax returns.As this relates to real estate, it is now more crucial than ever that you have the proper documentation for any tax credits or tax deductions that are taken on your tax return.

Initial preference…. stay close to Orange County area/self manage.  

I’m a real estate agent out of Orange County, not far from Chino.

It all makes since I'm not jumping on a plane to fix toilets, agreed that teams are crucial to success. 

You also stand a chance competing in on-market deals where a seller would prefer not to deliver vacant (remove existing tenants, e.g. for a developer to start work to condoize immediately), if you're willing to take a risk on taking them on.Also, keep an eye on Malden and Chelsea - lots of two-family turnover in the past 2-3 years in Malden and it's been hot, fewer three-deckers there, but still room to work as a house hack on the orange line and commuter rail, and Chelsea JUST got silver line access this year which opens up some three-deckers that were previously less accessible (and accordingly, less rentable).Happy to chat more if ever it's helpful!
