This question is asked a lot and there's a ton of value by just reading those previous conversations.In short, there are pros and cons to the program.

I was talking with an investor about what I could read so I could have a valuable conversation with him about real estate investing.

Hey @Ashley Payne - I think the question of whether or not to sell really depends on what you're trying to accomplish. 

It's actually really expensive to transact real estate - see the number of posts on BP by first time buyers who are shocked at how much they have to pay in fees and points and closing costs.  

To get accurate information on renting by the room, check with a local investor-friendly real estate agent.

Hi BP Community,I’m looking to refine my real estate investment strategy and want to make sure I’m on the right track.Here are a few areas I’m focusing on:Property Selection: How do you choose the right type of property for your goals?

It’s not intended to address tenant screening or defaulting issues, and I can see why it might not seem relevant to your concerns about tenant behavior and payment habitsTo answer your question,I fully own a couple of companies and hold partial ownership in others with real estate portfolios totaling over $100 million in market value, but I try to keep an open mind and learn from both sides-whether it's through advocating for better tenant practices or working with property managers.

Our primary address according to our 2021 tax return is the property in question (even though we technically moved in September 2021).

Connecting with locals who have experience in this area is a fantastic way to gain insights and avoid common pitfalls.Since you’re looking to buy in the next 12 months, I recommend starting by networking with other investors and real estate professionals in the area.

Great question @Charlene Livers.
