Hello Adele, Congrats on the success that you have had and the money that you have saved up for another deal!

If I do buy a house I'll probably be close to house poor with no extra money and probably won't have an opportunity to invest in real estate for a while since most of my money would be tied to my house/townhome/condo.

Money was expensive over there and at the time, I didn't know how to get hard money to do rehabs. 

What if you take the money and never complete the fix & flip?

Since moving into another fixer-upper isn’t ideal right now, consider leveraging your $40K for a low-money-down investment, like house hacking a small multifamily or using creative financing (seller financing, subject-to, or partnerships) to avoid tying up all your capital.

Once you hit conventional loan limits, many investors turn to hard money or non-QM loans to keep scaling.

@Melissa StanleyYour scenario is fairly common — "I've got the funds, you've got the experience, let's make lots of money."

Money shifts.

This will cost you money on the back end.

I fund their deals 100% they make money I charge nothing up front I only make money when they make money we get paid the same day off of the HUDs..
