Our goal is to achieve enough income so that she can quit her desk job and take over property management duties of our future rentals until it's to much for us to handle.

If your end goal is to own/flip a SFR in Old Louisville, then starting with a functioning multi is not going to be the best way to achieve that.

Educate myself and achieve my goals and meet wonderful people. 

Hi there🙂My name is Susanna.My son and I have taken interest in the REI business and our goal is to achieve financial independence.

To get it straight in my newbie mind: It seems like what's happening is that you achieve that high ARV to get a great LTV, in order to (1) pay back your HM/PM guy and/or (2) pull some cash out for the "Repeat" step in BRRRR, and (3) roll any points/closing/fees into your refi, keeping the skin you had in game with the HM/PM guy from the original acquisition/repair--the same.

My goal is to create cash flow through real estate investing and achieve financial freedom for my family.  

You have achieved so much already at such a young age.

Thats a great way to compliment your hard money loan and achieve no money out of pocket of deals. 

Too many people don't realize how important a plan can be to achieving long term goals.

It's achievable, but most of the people finding deals right now are off market.
