I've got a few other real estate investments.

Hello Kelly,As an audit manager, do you get to see which clients have a lot of real estate investments? 

If a water heater goes on your property, all your profit for the year is gone and your 15% CoC turns into 1% real quick.

My fiancé and I are open to investing out of state and are actually in a trip in Texas to check out real estate see how we like the idea of staring a family here.Our Starting Point (Conservatively)- Located in Camarillo, CA- 120k portfolio in the stock market subject to short term capital gains with a potential tax bill of 15-20k- Current W2 monthly income after taxes: $7k- Side hustle 1 income: $200 month     ($200 in profit)- Side hustle 2 income: $1400 revenue     ($0 profit) - debt at 29k- Current debt: $47k     (Auto: $29k Student Debt: $18k)*the auto loan doesn’t show on our credit for some reasonHow would move forward in our situation?

Third, we generally like the idea of diversifying our current portfolio with real estate and an additional income stream.

I have some rentals and understand that aspect of real estate but would like to have a better understanding of wholesaling before I jump in.Thanks

Should I really just be leaning on a local real estate agent to help me with the local markets?

I’m Katie and I joined this community because after years of saying I want to invest in real estate, I’m finally taking action.  

And there’s no replacement for a real estate professional.

It is also popular (here in FL) we have a lot of people with boats and skis that want to check out our area by boat.
