@Tiffany Tan I would highly recommend hiring a CPA.

There has been a lull since January 2023 to nowI think some NAR group researched that the Jacksonville Market had no growth / small negative growth in 2023.That is expected given the high growth in Jacksonville from the prior 10 years.I think the first 1/2 of 2024 will continue to be flat / negative.

I am a 18 year old in my last year of high school, for the past couple of months I've been gaining knowledge on whole sale real estate and I also have been taking a couple of the first steps to begin my career with wholesaling.

However, if you're looking for payment reliability, I'd recommend a slightly different strategy that aligns well with consistent income.Partnering with non-profit organizations that support vulnerable populations, like the Veterans Affairs or groups assisting people with developmental disabilities, could be highly beneficial.

You need more eyes on this property (including yourself) to get a better picture of why the quote is so high.

The market is so high in Utah right now that it's hard to find a property that cash flows.

Not that you asked, but if you are going this route, I'd highly reccomend the BRRRR method.

I made a deal with two highly motivated sellers, they're ready to go. 

If you want something more turnkey and very low price points, then you are looking at markets like Memphis where there is high crime.

Where I'm at in Navarre (In between Destin and Pensacola) the short term market is highly saturated.
