Within less than a year she's built triple the cash flow of our dog walking business and real estate combined, and seven figures in equity.

BRRRR, much like making money in general in real estate, requires certain conditions  for it to function.  

If your total income (combined for spouses) is under $100k, you can offset up to $25k of it.

Are you looking at cashflow or some combination of cashflow and appreciation?

It is worth it for me between the driving for dollars functionality and the contact data.

**Loan-to-Value (LTV) Leverage**: Lenders might be more willing to take a second position if the combined loan-to-value ratio is conservative, meaning there’s plenty of equity in the property and the lender’s risk is minimized.5.

Cash flow, principal pay off and of course appreciation are all a function (percentage) of your portfolio value. 

Real estate + construction is a powerful combination. 

Even a 200K home (fairly low dollar in the FL market) requires a 40K down payment which is tough to come up with without a hard money loan/HELOC combined with a conventional loan which would then be tough to make any cash flow.

I'm always looking for ideas on how to balance functionality with aesthetics in open spaces but I'm curious,how did you decide on the design flow between the kitchen, living room, and dining area?
