Good luck on your journey and feel free to reach out if you ever need any guidance or advice.

If you feel strongly in the appreciation and you have a clear path to positive free cash flow, I would be very tempted to hold in my portfolio.

I feel bad for the tenant but them wanting the convenience of having the broker handle it is going to cost them $10K in extra rent.Thanks again for your advice here!

Almost all full-time real estate agents know nothing about investing and urgency, so a part-timer who feels like they are doing you a favor will certainly not.A couple of notes, though.

If you are ever at the North Carolina Real Estate Investor Association meeting in Raleigh every month, feel free to connect. 

Hi Julia, Starting out in land flipping can indeed seem daunting, especially when you're facing high costs for educational resources and feeling the pressure to make smart investments without a solid foundation of knowledge.

I feel the same way as you I like the idea of my rental properties being only a couple hours drive from where I live!

This I feel is where I usually get tripped up. 

When a professional is running the pricing, the schedule, and the guest services, you would be shocked to see how much 1 unit can actually make.

Everyone starts somewhere, so everyone knows how you feel right now.
