Rates are a bit higher but if you can leverage up to do more than 1 flip at a time, it will be worth paying the lender fees.

@Chris Mahoo many new investors don't take the time to properly understand RE investing.1) Many are using approaches from 2010-2018 when Class A property prices were so low from the Great RE Crash that an investor could cashflow and get pretty easy Class A tenants to manage.2) If you look at what investors were doing before 2008-2010, most were buying Class B & C rentals.To make it worth while, an investor either needs to Fix & Flip or invest & hold rentals for 10+ years.- Over a 10 year period cashflow will increase as rents increase (rents typically rise faster than property taxes, insurance, etc.)- The property should be appreciating, if purchased in a good location, increasing the owner's equity/wealth.- Rents will be paying the mortgage off, increasing the owner's equity/wealth.- If you hold a rental until death, you can pass it on with a stepped-up cost basis, limiting captial gains if then sold (limited by inheritance tax limitations).Too many newbies on this site trying to replace their day job income via "passive" real estate investing w/o digging deep enough to understand how it really works.

I wanted to start tracking my daily hours in the business and wanted to understand HOW I need to do this so it gets approved come tax time. 

Your ad should require "proof of income" not proof of employment.

I weigh more on making 3x rent and having great rental history of on time payments with no evictions, no lease violations or violent criminal history.

As a former employee of Kristin Witherspoon, I was subjected to repeated instances of non-payment, which is a clear violation of basic employment principles.
