I concede that this will be difficult to execute in Charleston (affording a house with STR potential as a FTHB straight out of college), so you may have to take a stair-step approach.In the meantime, get involved with the local REI community.

It's an exciting journey with great potential for financial freedom.

We got wind of it through one of our Broker contacts.. the issue for the land owner is he had taken roughly the same option payments yearly 150k And now with the option failing he was going to have to capture all that income as earned income and pay tax.. ( which of course he is kind of like a lottery winner the 150k a year was always gone in 10 months) So he was in a potential bad spot with IRS and we were able to step in and take over the option for the same terms.

I sign up for this all in 2019 for this is the first time I’ve logged in.I bought a place in 2018, remodeled and sold in 2022 and chased my dream of 20 years of moving to Jackson Wy however investing here in not an option since I’m not a billionaire sooooo I am planning my next moves and looking to invest.I have roughly $30K (potentially $50K) to invest in a flex and flip as I’m not sure I could do the landlord thing.I have been looking in places I would like to actually live which is eastern Oregon, North central/East Tennessee, Rapid City or Naples-Clearwater Florida areas.Any help or ideas would be awesome!

Hey Ferrode, Cleveland offers affordable entry point, higher potential cash flow due to lower purchase prices and decent rental income while Columbus offers a stronger job market and population growth potentially leading to higher appreciation over time.

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.

The property I'm looking at is also conveniently located near a college campus, which I believe could be an attractive factor for potential renters.I’m reaching out to this community for insights and advice on a few key points:1.

Organize a group of experts to assist you with the process, give top priority to homes with excellent rental potential, and make sure all local laws are followed.

When you get it back through a refi, it now costs you...to use the same money that was free when it was in your bank and liquid.2 - Cash in the bank, has an exponential gain potential that equity does not.Note that when I refer to equity being dead, I'm not saying it has no value, it just has no growth.
