We are looking into the Carolinas, Tennessee, Missouri, and Ohio at the moment; doing our best to stay away from natural disasters or other issues that could affect insurance and other subsidiary expenses.We would love some advice, either by replying to this post or willing to hop on a call.

Congrats on successfully branching into flipping, it’s a natural extension of your agent experience and gives you a big edge in sourcing and evaluating deals.

Given your location, it seems Like short term rentals would be a natural fit- plus there's certain tax benefits assuming you meet certain qualifications.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.What I don't understand, though, is the variable nature of the wholesaler fee.

Purchase price: $500,000 Cash invested: $2,500,000 These brand-new single-family homes feature open layouts, high-end finishes, and plenty of natural light.

I got started naturally by renting out my home in Raleigh, NC when I moved to Virginia last year and just recently purchased a duplex in Danville, VA.  

Since it seems you have about a 6-7 ft bar from kitchen to living, that is only 2-3 people eating, and the living room doesn't have the space to fit a dining table, even a small one, and seating (couch, chairs, etc) while maintaining any paths to move through room or access the slider and hallway towards back of house.From a design perspective, entering a house into a reasonably long, narrow dark (no natural light) hallway is never an inviting experience.

Here’s how:Rents adjust: Over time, rental income tends to rise alongside (or above) inflation, offering natural protection.Fixed debt, rising value: While your mortgage payment stays the same, property values and rents climb—widening your margin.Tangible asset resilience: Unlike stocks or crypto, real estate is a physical good with intrinsic demand—people always need housing.We’ve seen this firsthand across the Baltimore Metro area.

@M Edouard Ok I agree most of the time but if you have nice condition older natural woodwork, pick a color that goes with the woodwork like an alabaster/off white, and don't paint the woodwork.

From my research Phx was experiencing a boom but that cycle naturally ended now its on a decline.
