@Andrew Steffens super helpful reflections, thank you so much for taking the time to share, I appreciate it.

@Calvin PringlesThank you for a very helpful article!

We haven't decided if we want to use it as a long-term rental or flip it, so would appreciate any advice on that as well.We've been trying to read up on how to get started, but have a few questions we were hoping to get help with:1) What are the key things to look for in identifying a specific area to purchase in?

Could be a real opportunity!
