We own one rental property in California, which was our primary residence for about 2.5 years before we relocated to Massachusetts, where we now live.Right now, we’re in the process of applying for HELOCs on both properties.

Using the advice from Brandon Turner's book, I've been trying to evaluate a deal a day to exercise the muscle.Considering housing prices in my area are quite high, I may try to relocate back to Minnesota in the next year or two, and I would like to save $10k-$15k more to invest in my first deal (currently have about $25k saved to invest in the future), I feel like I'm in limbo with my REI journey.For those of you who are further along in your investment journey, where would you go from here?

This was a challenge—and I wouldn’t change a thing.The seller overpaid a few years ago and had to relocate for work.

I'm doing the groundwork - learning the market, studying neighborhoods, practicing deal analysis.

Job Changes and Relocations Peak in Q2 and Q3Many companies align promotions, relocations, and new hires with the mid‑year cycle.

Hey everyone,Sorry in advance for weird formatting  I AI fix my writing because I brain dumped here hard and it didn’t make much sense.I’m currently in NJ and planning to relocate to Volusia County (Daytona Beach area).

Normally it's one of the following:  Upgrade, downsize, estate, relocation, or financial distress--(too many causes of distress to list).

I’m 21 years old and will be relocating to the Raleigh NC area around the holidays for a full-time sales engineering role.I’m already investing in North Carolina and recently closed on a triplex in Lillington that I’m actively managing.

Hi BiggerPockets community,My wife and I are planning a relocation to North Carolina first quarter of next year and are currently narrowing our focus to the Charlotte or Greensboro areas.I’m looking to connect with an experienced, investor-friendly loan officer who understands long-term strategy — specifically a primary residence purchase that we plan to convert to a rental after 2 years.Right now, I’m in the planning and education phase and looking for a strategy call only (no credit pull or formal pre-approval yet).Here’s what I’m trying to clarify:• Targeting a total monthly payment $1,600- $1,900 (PITI + PMI) • Considering 5–8% down • Buying as a primary residence • Converting to mid-term or long-term rental after ~2 years • Understanding how future rental income would be treated when qualifying for a second home • Comparing conventional vs FHA scenariosI’d appreciate connecting with someone who:Is licensed in North CarolinaHas experience working with first-time buyers AND investorsUnderstands rental conversion strategiesIs comfortable doing a high-level planning call before pre-approvalIf this sounds like you (or you can recommend someone solid in the Charlotte/Greensboro market), please comment or send a DM.Thanks in advance — I appreciate this community.— Jay

Look for people with probate situations, job relocations, health issues, or actual financial pressure.
