Mostly fix n flips.

Feel free to connect...my contact is in my signature, or drop me a PM.Is your N Linden on Moon Rd?...

For fix n flip, your best bet is hard money or private money lender since they close faster and has fewer requirements.

Great points listed above - especially when you get into the nuances of what 'appreciation' and 'valuation' means when you're looking at long-term investment strategies, like buy and hold - or even if you're coming into a gentrifying area and you need a solid view-point of potential ARV on a fix n' flip and how it will perform on the market.To add to the list of suggestions to be cognizant for - vet, vet, vet!

Also would it be better to wait till retirement to make this move, because my earned income will be lower, hence lower tax bracket, Y/N?

Thank you all in advance guys n gals!!
