Hi @Travis McDonnell  - Hi and bye from Boise! :)  Interesting that you were able to do everything from here in Idaho to start selling in Florida. We truly are a global economy now. Best to you in your real estate career in Florida!

Hi @Duane Whittaker - congrats on taking action.  If you can handle the lower cash flow for now...you might consider financing while you qualify from your job, and taking a shorter mortgage.  All the best to you...even that one home will make a difference, no doubt...but it sounds like you are on to more.  If you can finance 3-4 in the next couple of years with traditional financing at low interest rates, vs. 1 paid in cash, I would personally lean into that idea.  

Welcome @Trever Nicoll!  Star sure is a hot bed of activity right now.  Please be sure and join us for our next Boise meet up. ...dates TBD in September.   It sounds like you have a lot of experience to contribute to the conversation with!  

Hi @Leo Tsang! I am in Boise, Idaho, but have some great BP friends in your area that are very in the know.  I would suggest connecting with your local meet ups there, and talking to those that are buy and hold investors.  That first purchase is the hardest...it won't be perfect, but you sure will learn from it and make adjustments as needed.  (just make sure you are at least positive cash flow on that first one. :)  )

Hi @Sharnita Alexander - first, welcome to posting on BP! Second, are you looking for a multi-family or SFH property? It was hard to tell from your postings on whether you are local or out of state. I am in Boise, but I have connections there!

@Zack McCoy  -Welcome! Sounds like you are on track with a solid strategy.  

"I think my ultimate goal is to do some live-in flips while trying to acquire a rental property or two during the two years of flipping. Just have to do more research on if that is a good option."

I would consider just turning each of your live ins a rental and move on to the next one.  

Happy investing!  

@John Lingel - Welcome!  My experience with out of country clients is that it can be pretty straight forward as long as everyone at Title knows ahead of time.  Our market is Boise as well.  All the best in your endeavors!  

@Sandhya Gorman Welcome to investing in Boise!  I would highly recommend you do everything you can to make sure you don't have a vacancy happen October - January.  Yes - if you are using property management, they can help advise on this. Good luck!
