Priceless. Hahaha.

@Lisa Messick

Hello Lisa and Gene and welcome! Your guys' goals are almost exactly the same as me and my significant others' goals. Instead of doing a house hack though, we are planning to do another 'live n flip'. Its funny that you use the term 'forever house' because thats what we use too. Good luck!

@Jasmine Francis

Hello and welcome. There is a ton of good information on here. Good luck!

 I agree with this 100%.

Hello Keeton,

I believe Robert Ellis' post is spot on. With that being said, are you looking to do a live n flip or just live in it and rely on natural appreciation? I would highly recommend a live n flip, if you dont mind your primary residence being a construction zone for awhile. Good luck.

@Samantha Kincaid

If you guys have that kind of income, I would say pay it off over the next several months. Use those months to research the area you're looking to invest in. No need to rush! Good luck.

Definitely persistence.

@Roderick Giles

I agree with Craig that it is personal preference. However, in my opinion if you are just starting out, finance your properties. Cash is king. Good luck!

@Latimer Luis

I'm sure you can learn at least 2 things from every mistake you've made on this deal. As long as you revisit and investigate why those mistakes happened AND act upon improving them on the next deal, you should be golden. Don't give up, you got this! Good luck.

I would say it would cut out a little bit of the price of rehab if you were to use a handyman, but not by much. If you were to do the rehab on your own though, you're pretty much trading your time for cost. For my first property I did all of the work myself and saved thousands. In addition to saving money, you know the work is done right. Good luck!
