🤪 You must not be hip to what the kids are saying these days bruhhh.Dope = Cool.

@Alana GeorgeWouldn’t real estate be so much more easier if we started before kids, ugh imagine the time we would have lol.

@Constantia Petrou I had an indoor pet rabbit when I was a kid, the cage stunk so bad we kept getting sick.

You can take all the appreciation out with a refi with zero taxes.You can hold the property until you die and leave it to your kids and pay zero taxes, so 0% taxes is pretty cool.Appreciation will usually bring in more “income” than the rent, often much more. 

I've got two kids and an ex wife! 

Can you recommend a real estate agent book for someone exploring the possibility of becoming a real estate agent?

@Ryan Howard welcome...doing some more research on your desired path should shed some light on the environment you're working in...I would caution noting that you do not have capital, but want to wholesale to raise capital...you're essentially admitting you are trying to broker real estate without a license...you will hear lots of opinions on this, but the bottom line is if you have no intent to close on a contract you enter into, you're engaging in unlicensed activity and subject to $1,000/day fines.I'm not saying don't wholesale...I am saying do your homework so you don't end up in a tight situation.Taking time to explore every option in RE investing is not a good approach...I can save you years of heartache and you'll be wealthy much faster by sticking to fundamentals...long-term buy and hold real estate is the only path you need to go down. 

On a residential street with families, you have STR guests speeding down the road, without regard for where kids may live and play.

Married with three kids so I need to be right

I am from bayarea and exploring out of state investment options.One of my friend moved to NC recently and he is recommending to invest in either in holly springs or Fuquay-Varina. properties in holly springs went up in last one year. i have seen some properties in FV which are below < 350k range and rents around 1500-1800$. if my goal is property appreciation, which one would be the better bet. or are there any other areas which has potential to grow down the line other than these 2 areas?
