Hello my fellow BP Agents. It finally happened I made the jump and got my real estate license. I've been investing for the past 2 years and have done a handful of BRRRR properties in Fayetteville, NC and actively run a short term vacation rental business here in Carolina Beach, NC. I know being an agent is very different than investing in your own personal portfolio so my question is what resources have been the most beneficial to help you in your career. I am currently reading the Millionaire Real Estate Agent and would like to know your opinions!

My first property was a 3/2 single family, brick ranch home in Fayetteville, NC. This was a BRRRR property using delayed financing. The deal went great and I still own it. Total project cost about 60k and property appraised for 80k with a $900 per month rent. I still own the property and I wish I had started sooner! I wish I had replaced the HVAC instead of waiting so I could have wrapped the new one into the original refinance.

@Bryan H. Carolina Beach is a great market. Higher occupancy due to the close proximity to Wilmington.

@Jason Nguyen, sounds like Airbnb arbitrage to me. Probably has the same weaknesses as well. Only cashflow, no equity, no tax benefits, and no appreciation. You get taxed on all the income and at the end of the day you don’t own anything. Great if you want to replace your 9-5 with another 9-5 in my opinion.
