If you sell now there will be some tax hit because of not hitting the two year mark.

I am getting appreciation in Florida and not so much in my small town in Texas...until they hit oil again.

I'm a newbie wholesaler who's about to hit the ground running and was hoping to get clarification.

In any case, I was sitting on cash ($150K +/-) thinking/hoping the real estate market was going to adjust (downward) to make room for me to make a move, when Covid hit and everything got out of control.

At first, saving $100 a week adds up, but you’ll eventually hit a point where that $100 is a really small percent of your “nut.”6.)

Want to hit it big with open houses, or new builds, or foreclosures, or selling HUD homes, or beachfront, or luxury homes to athletes, or whatever it is you want to do, probably someone at KW that can show you how to do it. 

I think if you continue to scale eventually you will hit a point where you have to move to your market area, but retiring to a lower cost of living area with passive income seems like it should be the dream anyways...Here's the order I think you should be focusing on if you go invest now:Market area (pick one already)Lender (make sure you will qualify for the refi if pursuing brrrr)Property manager/Agent (same person if possible)Property (light remodel)Contractors (During escrow)But... you are asking directions and don't know where you are going yet.

I have been hitting roadblock after roadblock with traditional lending.

Nationwide rates hit a lows - so there has really never been a better time "spread" wise.Moreover, the FED has printed so much money (~25% of all dollars in existence were created during COVID).

Most lenders roll that particular hit into the higher rate investors expect to pay.
