Hey Jason! Don't be discouraged. It's done all the time. I currently work a 40+ hour/week job, but rehabbing is a life style choice, almost like a fun hobby that can be financially rewarding as well!
1. On lunch, I work on what I need to away from the property, i.e. accounting items, calls to contractors, emails, budgeting items, planning the weekend.
2. I only work on my rehabs on Saturdays, but I have that in all my financials forecasts, the holding costs associated with taking a little longer.
3. I allow myself time to regroup before heading back into full work week! For me, it keeps me pumped about a project.
4. I also have the most amazing handyman that ever existed that keeps my projects cruising forward on little things I can do myself, but don't have the time to over the week.
You can do this!!!
