The city has been experiencing consistent population growth, which often translates to increased demand for housing. 

etc.)and... judging from your profile picture you may not want to house hack - but that is a great way to get started. 

The house we purchased was an Air BnB previously, had many upgrades to it, and is in really good shape. 

Buying your own home and buying an investment property has nothing to do with eachother, other than they are both  houses. 

I had to replace all the carpet and sell the house.  

My brother is interested in selling his house to me, however, I’d like to keep the existing 2.9% interest rate on his mortgage.

As you know all areas have been challenged with over priced houses.

I am looking to do my first house flip.

During this 30-day period, agents should be able to: set goals for themselves; set up their MLS; add their sphere/ALL of their friends, family, acquaintences to a database; begin calling/contacting everyone in their database; begin generating leads from other sources like cold calling, expireds, fsbos, social media, open houses, etc; begin tracking KPIs; create or refine online profiles; create and post social media content; attend role play sessions to work on lead generation/conversion skills & more.
