@Luz PaganSo are you willing to lose that deposit and spend weeks finding someone else?

I am so grateful for this community and the time all of you spend on helping all the hungry beginners like myself.

The bright side is...you don't have to spend winter in Watertown.

But I have been spending A LOT of time here on BP, been reading a ton of books, and generally getting a great REI education.

In the interim I hope to spend a lot of time in a lot of places, first plan once freedom becomes reality is Tuscany, I was there for a short visit this summer and fell in love with the history and culture.

Do you think it’s worth a BRRRR (but then prob have to spend the additional $ on converting to gas) or just a fix and flip?

Explain that your function in the real estate investment cycle is to spend a lot of time and energy to market to potential sellers, weed through the valid prospects, successfully negotiate the price, and market to find an end C Buyer.

Go for a drive and spend the day talking to agents in the smaller pockets.

So if I spend 30k, then I sell the house for 200k it would pay off the primary note for 100k, then the HELOC for 30k, and leave me with 70k to put down on the next property?

Spend an appropriate amount of time researching, reading, and learning obviously but time is money when you’re growing it exponentially.Since you mentioned “getting out” versus retirement then I figure you’re just hitting your ETS.
