I live in Miami so starting to invest in properties that are local will not be the best move.

I can assist you with all of your real estate needs.

We live outside of the metro Atlanta area in the expanding town of Dacula.We joined the Bigger Pockets because we are totally new to real estate and would like to reclaim our time and do some of the things we’d like to do as empty nesters.

And then I still wouldn't buy because if insurance keeps going up and up, it will be unsellable and tenants don't want to live in a flood zone unless they are on the upper floors.

I do live in a lower-income area that is now up and coming (more job opportunities, more infrastructure being built, local amusement parks, close to city, etc).

Cons: we live 7 hours away from the property and would have to find a property manager.

I live in California and like many California Investors prices are just too high in the area I live.

Do you have any desire to live in the home (only relevant if your parents currently occupy the home)?

Don't live in a house you're flipping.

Unlike the HML who in many cases would LOVE for you to be stuck with that trash rate long-term, the bridge loan will only be approved if they are convinced you will be able to reposition the property on the other side -- sell, or refi to perm debt.If you are still looking to solve this problem, let me know if I can be of assistance.
