Keep in mind that when you are putting a furnished rental out into the world, it needs to be in a location where a single female can check in alone at night and feel safe getting from her car to the front door.

Hi Julia, Starting out in land flipping can indeed seem daunting, especially when you're facing high costs for educational resources and feeling the pressure to make smart investments without a solid foundation of knowledge.

I feel the same way as you I like the idea of my rental properties being only a couple hours drive from where I live!

I'm      particularly interested in exploring the BRRRR strategy, despite the initially lower monthly cash flow.Long-Term Goal:- The ultimate objective is to achieve a monthly income of $15K+ through real estate investing within the next 10~15 years.I greatly appreciate any guidance, tips, or perspectives you can share based on your experience.

Converting apartment buildings  (made up of 300-600 sq ft units) that have lots of character and close to downtown to condos was very popular in the boom times (pre 2008).

Ideally that is what I’m looking for is some stable monthly cash flow to help me feel more secure since my current business could be volatile or fizzle out 5 years from now.

Some sellers may opt not to pay the buyer-side commission, in which case the buyer will be responsible for compensating their agent.How it may affect buyers and sellers: Sellers may feel that not having to pay the buyer's agent commission is good for them as they can save half of the commission.
