Thank you for your recommendation and professional advice.Yes, I also thought 1-2 months is ludicrous.I highly recommended my friend change the contractor or get another quotes with other contractorsI don't know the "home restoration companies"

For this reason, I highly recommend the 2 BR option over the 1 BR.  

Finding quality tenants is certainly a legitimate concern that every investor has had at some point in their career.

Most have a high school education. 

My goal of becoming a broker is two fold:  1) Build a career with high earning potential   2) Use that income paired with the knowledge I would gain to invest. 

Of course, I would highly recommend staying up to date on the laws for when you do move out of the property and onto your next house hack.

Hello, I'll make this brief. my names Tyler and I'm about to graduate high school in less than a month and my passion is real estate.

This is even more true today given the high level of US interest rates.

Only downside is that buying a house now is so high it's almost not worth the effort it seems.

High standards and ethical practices will build your reputation.Shifting your mindset to treating real estate investing as a serious business is fundamental to success.
