If no budget concerns and you can buy slightly more expensive homes I would look at the top states currently being relocated to and choose a sub-market within that is slightly on the outskirts so that you can grab something of good value and have the city grow into your area for long term appreciation.

Doubling your portfolio is no small feat and something to be very proud of. 

I would highly recommend doing something like this.

Hey all BiggerPockets 🖐️Getting started in real estate investing, especially in the realm of land flipping, is something I am very excited about.I'm eager to put my money and effort into it and turn this into my business and possibly make it my main income source.Would love any recommendations on finding a mentor to guide me through the land flipping process.Thanks all!

Hi, I'm pretty new to this game, but I was wondering if there's any policy that would prevent something like this.

If you are a corporation or a real estate developer, it may be different, but for the vast majority of the mom and pop investors, it has no value.First of all, I always find it laughable that any high income professional, doctor or lawyer or corporate executive, would want to trade their most valuable resource (time) for something they already have plenty (money).

Also most mortgagor usually use public website to make sure you do the repair correctly (something like insuranceclaimcheck dotcom).

Each of those deals have favorable IRR > 15%; so should I check for something else? 

There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution as you mention, but I would be sure that this is something that you see as sustainable due to the substantial up-front investment that it requires from the outlay.

Fact that I can keep these expenses reported and "retained" on IRS Form 8582 is something new for me.
