I currently own my own home free and clear (150k asset) it's close to town and within walking distance of an elementary school, and a golf course. I'm looking for advice as I may have a job opportunity in another state (5 hours away) and the market is 10x better. My question is do I sell or rent? With the new position and move I will be in a much better place to build wealth.

James, In the last 3.5 years how has the market evolved? It seems as if the economy and housing market is on the rise. I would also imagine the number of people trying to flip homes is also going up.

I was wondering if anyone on BP is flipping and/or doing rehabs in the Lexington ky area?

Welcome...I also live in Ky, and I'm starting to look for investments in Lexington, Georgetown, and possibly Richmond.

Thanks for the info Rafael and Paul. The area I'm looking into is 2 hours away but my family has another home thats 20 minutes from the area, making it extremely easy for me to commute. I understand more of the construction side, and can do most of the construction myself, but it hurts me on my turn around time. I would like to get my realtor license as I do sale land for a company (I just don't and can't sign anything) and I would like to learn more about the real-estate side, and be eventually market and list my property myself.

I'm looking to start doing rehabs but not in my area, as my current market is well I doubt it's worth it. I'm looking into a growing area about 2 hours away from me. I don't have my real estate license, but I'm looking into acquiring them. I have access to good investors, myself included. My question is how is the best way to get started? How can I find foreclosures without a real estate agent? Being 2 hours away how do I find good trust worthy contractors? Also any other advice is acceptable.
