What are the easiest places to fall in love with where one might also flourish doing a little real estate investing?

I'm a real estate accountant and see Equity Trust Company used a lot though I use Solera. 

Boom and busts in real estate.  

Below are a few ideas to think about.Appraisal Concerns: Include a clause in the counteroffer to address any potential gap if the appraisal comes in lower than the offer price.Closing Costs: If the requested $10k seems high, propose a lower amount or adjust the sale price to cover some of these costs.Escrow Deposit: Counter with a higher deposit to ensure buyer commitment.Financing Contingency: Make sure there's a clause that protects you if the buyer’s financing falls through.VA Requirements: Understand and prepare for the specific requirements and inspections associated with VA loans.Professional Advice: Consult with a real estate agent or legal professional for tailored advice.Communication: Maintain open communication with the buyers for a smooth negotiation process.Best of luck with your sale,KC

Hello it took me 12 yrs to muster up the courage to live my dream of starting my real estate portfolio dream.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

This collaboration underscores the importance of strong partnerships and local insights in identifying and negotiating profitable real estate opportunities.

@Holly RossI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, tax planning and financial planning.

Most importantly is to have built a team to support you and your real estate journey.
