My wife and I have started our “10-home plan” to help augment military retirement that should kick in between 2023-2025.

I love that you mentioned about augmenting my risk by doing a few flips! 

Loved everything besides your bathrooms (they have a masculine feel to me, White/Black).

So, I tracked down the owners and asked about buying a portion of it to augment my yard.

Pitbulls are the hot dog used for fighting, and others get them to represent some sort of masculinity.

You will need to use hard money to augment your funds.

In the first twelve months after rehab, my model indicates a monthly cash-flow of $2500/month.Then, after twelve months of cash-flow, I plan to sink another $100K into more renovations (which takes 2 more months), and for the next twelve months, my model indicates that I can expect a cash-flow of $6000/month.At this point, I plan to sell the building for $500K.Given that example, I take my monthly cash flows projected by my two models, and augment them based on my purchase/sale/rehab expenses, and run an IRR to get my expected return (in this case, about 25%).If you want to see what this looks like for this example, see the attached spreadsheet...Hope this helps!
