Since the last time I was online, I have grown the investing to fix and flipping and a portfolio of 4 properties that are producing passive income.  

This will cost money to maintain, cost money to manage leasers, subject you to the will of tenants/leasers should they damage something, should someone get injured, your money will be gone (for now), subject you to the will of the market, interest rates, potential market volatilities.. you will need a lawyer at that amount for sure and a good CPA. 

Usually, this is a sign of stability and a preview of the types of people who live in the area. 

This can lead to increased financial freedom and a reduced environmental impact.

The property is off grid, but already set up with solar and a compost toilet and things of that nature.

I'm an investor and a licensed mortgage broker who has done fix and flips both using my home's equity and borrowing against the investment property.If you (1) have enough equity in your home to fully fund the deals, (2) don't mind tying that equity up for these deals vs saving it for a rainy day and (3) are ok linking the place you sleep with the success of the flips, this could make sense.We offer a ton of different fix and flip programs including putting 10% down on the purchase price and funding 100% of the rehab.

Depending on the costs and a build to rent approach could work if you'd be willing to hold the properties as rentals. 

Quote from @Bryan Vukelich: Aloha @Lei Wei and as always, big mahalo @Andrew Steffens for recommending me.  

I've talked to lots of California and a few NYC investors that have lost money (including myself) who bought inexpensive properties in the Midwest mostly and a few in the South (Class C is volatile). - some strategies I've seen California investors use to lessen negative cash flow: house hacking, mid-term rentals (people temporarily displaced from home renovation or insurance reasons like fire), rent by the room, Short Term Rentals. - The ultimate house hack, live in the small ADU unit and rent out the two levels of the main house on AirBnb in San Francisco (I would have thought STRs are oversaturated in S.F. but it worked for them and they stay fully booked).

It’s a good idea to work with a qualified intermediary and a tax advisor to ensure everything is structured properly and you’re clear on any tax implications.
