@Clarence HarveyHey Clarence, congrats on planning your first house hack, that move alone puts you ahead of most people.

Most investors look at their numbers once a year — usually when their CPA asks for them in March.By then, it’s too late to make changes.The best investors I’ve worked with — the ones who always seem one step ahead — have a habit I call the Quarterly Check-In.Every 3 months, they:- Review income and expenses for each property.- Check if their financing or insurance still makes sense.- Plan upcoming repairs or improvements before they become emergencies.- Look at their tax position and make small moves early — instead of big ones in a panic later.It doesn’t take long.

Don’t try to buy the “perfect” first dealBuy the right-sized deal you can learn from and comfortably hold for 10 years.Your first deal is about education just as much as profit.Most investors look back and say, “I wish I’d bought sooner, even if the first one wasn’t perfect.”You’re already ahead of 90 percent of people, now you just need one good, simple buy to break the paralysis.

If you buy and hold you think 10, 20, 30 years ahead.

Should I involve an attorney ahead of time to check for liens, back taxes, or other encumbrances that might transfer with the property?

You're already ahead by wholesaling , that gives you a strong base in deal flow and valuation.

With the current market, you might get further ahead selling it and putting the proceeds in a high interest savings account.

It's one thing to charge ahead, another one to stay intact while charging.  

@Rodolfo PoeRudy, you’re off to a great start—the fact that you’ve got a defined buy box and capital ready puts you ahead of most new investors.

Great questions to get answers to ahead of time.  1.
