Lesson learned, not all banks operate the same...I managed to pay my bills that allowed direct ACH within accounts, but essentially I have to go to the bank, withdraw cash until the new cards show up.

The market has been stagnant with many properties sitting, and many sellers deciding to withdraw their listing and rent it for now instead of lowering their price enough to sell now.

We’re located in Westchester County, NY, and our goal is to eventually get approved for more so we can purchase a house to house-hack (ideally a small multi-family).

My wife and I began to realize that real estate wasn’t just about owning property, it was about creating options and freedom.When we eventually sold the Portland home, a Keller Williams agent introduced us to the 1031 exchange.

Now the attorney may decide the information places him in a conflict with his client that causes the attorney to withdraw, but the attorney could not reveal the reason for the withdrawal to anyone.I can't comment on the specifics of your claims experience, but I can say that if I were handling you title claim, I would not expect any attorney I retained to represent an insured, to tell me whether to pay the insured or not. 

These strategies will allow me to build some capital and experience, eventually partnering with other investors to own properties and generate true passive income.If anyone is willing to help — whether through wholesaling, bird-dogging, or even partnering with me on my first deal — I would be incredibly grateful.

Are you planning to stay focused on flips long term or eventually add rentals into the mix?

Quote from @Lakita Woodson: As landlords, you may eventually encounter a tenant who seems to damage something every month right after paying rent.

Sell → run actual tax, not estimates, and see what the net investable is vs. your target 7% market return and 4% withdrawal rule.Most people change their mind once they see the after-tax number instead of the “$700K” headline.You’re asking the right question — at this stage it’s less “real estate vs stocks” and more “what gives me the highest, after-tax, lowest-hassle return on the equity I’ve built.”

I went to the ATM to today to see if I could just start withdrawing my funds from the account that way but since I have several virtual accounts with funds in each one and baselane only issued one debit card for the "main" account, it won't let me pull the funds from the additional accounts.
