I’m getting re-acquainted with the BP community after purchasing my first house hack in the Pittsburgh area, and would love to make some connections with other like-minded young professionals and investors in the area.And if there’s anyone out there who’s just getting started and looking to make the jump to buy their first property, I’d love to offer up advice, share my network of contractors in the area, and answer any questions that I can from my experience over the last 6 months!

It’s impressive how you took this single-family fix-and-flip from start to finish, self-financing and managing the project as the GC.

I really commend you on getting started and executing your plan even when the project turned to be something larger than you anticipated.

Where do I start???

I would say that is not a great way to start.

Due to item 1, adding an ADU can require years to start achieving any return (once the accumulated cash flow recovers the initial negative position).4) Adding an ADU is a slow process.

I'll never forget what he told me, If you ever want to start purchasing real estate simply call this guy and write him a check and don't ask any questions.

My question is, do I just not touch the first property, use the cash flow to reinvest and pay down the mortgage or save up for a downpayment down the road OR do I pull cash out of the first property to buy the next property?

I’m all for getting started and primaries make good rentals when only held for a year or two before they’ve had time to appreciate.
