I'm continuing to find more flip properties as I build bankroll to buying a small Multifamily free and clear.

I have been able to boost my credit score significantly while working a day job which should help me along my path.My goal for year one is to fix and flip so have a decent bankroll for further projects and not need to use expensive money. 

Point being, I'd avoid spending money on mailers until you've got a big bankroll.

I will however, have a healthy equity position in the house.I want to continue doing deals, and right now the goal is to do flips, so that I can bank roll profits until I get enough to become a cash leverage player, rather than relying solely on financing through banks and HMLs.So to simplify, If I Buy and Hold this house, will I likely see my credit score decrease? 

To bank roll 1M you'd need 200k down; than 2% for closing 20k cash and need to make declared 250k.

First try to figure out what an acceptable risk of ruin is, then you can figure out how likely you are to go bust by estimating the risk in a project at knowing your bankroll.

Unless your starting with a bankroll, $100 per door doesn't go very far.

Follow the pay yourself first wisdom.Any opportunities for wholesaling your way to a bankroll?

Now that you have some bankroll take the better opportunity - but stay humble and kind to those that have helped you build your bridges.
