Where can I apply myself to see better faster results?

Although they both have their advantages, I would buy a MF home for a house hack over a SFH mainly because you can scale faster when growing your portfolio.

Inventory is definitely moving faster in the surrounding counties of Baltimore and DC.

I want to focus on MFH, but I felt like at least 1 flip a year would be able to keep my capital growing and would help me scale faster.

Our prospects are expecting an option fee of 5-10% of the intended purchase price (which is ultimately set by the investor but obviously the closer to 5%, the faster we can send you a buyer).

Faster, easier, and fewer borrower requirements - but will be priced higher than conventional. 

I really love the market - the population and economic growth is fueling my investment properties and I've been very happy with my returns. 

I am also a fellow consultant, so more than happy to connect with you - DM me and more than happy to answer any questions or go over the experiences I have had.In regards to education, I did all the same things as you mentioned in terms of reading/listening to podcasts, however the one thing I would say is I've learned so much faster and more relevant info about RE investing  by just doing it. 

When you speak with an attorney, I would focus on possession as this helps you get the unit back faster. 

Faster capital.
