Speed of Financing: Time is crucial in fix and flips, and traditional loans (like bank loans) can be too slow.

Hi All,I have been reading a lot of books and listening to a bunch of podcasts about real estate investing and I feel like I'm ready to take the next steps.

Its just like renting to any tenant, just more paperwork 

I liked the diversity of real estate.

Hoping to meet like minded people and build a team to grow a valuable cash-flow portfolio!

(most likely because they almost all come from BiggerPockets ha!)

It's definitely a priority to be putting the spotlight on awesome community members like yourself who have used the content and education BP provides to build a better life for themselves however that looks!

Id be happy to be your contact if you would like some more information about the area.

Hey Brian, that sounds like a smart plan to me, see how your home does as a MTR for a few months and that should help you decide how to move forward.

@Roman A Sandlermore important than picking a market is having a plan for building a network.just to be blunt, i think a lot of investors pick a random market using a formula like you did, rather than picking a market where they might have some kind of advantage.
