Wish you all prosperity and happy investing.v/rChad King

If you have any specific questions about my experience, I would be happy to share more.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/850/topics/895660-my-first-investment-property-an-out-of-state-dealBest Wishes!

Or, what if you get your wish of lower materials prices caused by higher interest rates?

I wish you much success. 

Which tip do you wish you knew when you start investing?

Great question, I wish you had asked it BEFORE the auction.

Once you get a signed contract from the seller saying that they agree to sell "you or an assignee the property for" an agreed price, you then have the right to buy, sell, or control the property as you wish, allowing the rules and laws in whatever jurisdiction the property sits.In other words, if your state/ city allows you to "wholesale" a property without any improvements, that would be pretty much your process.

I wish I had held more properties in this latest up cycle.

Just wanted to know if anyone had experience working in this area and what challenges I should be aware of, who should I stay away from, and anything else you wish someone told you when you embarked on the remodel.

Wish you the best of luck and if you are ever in San Antonio I'm happy to connect!
