I was determined and wanted something that I could sustain for the long term for my family's livelihood and control the effort I put in and the results I got from that effort.I specialize in sourcing properties for fix and flip investors nationwide (wholesaling, but with real-world experience and closed profitable deals for myself and my investor partners) with a roadmap to acquire rental properties as finances permit.A lot of our deals are currently coming through organic search as I have a background in substantial traffic generation through search engine optimization and organic means.

If you can buy something habitable, and rehab it over time while you live there, that could be a home run of an investment when you look at your return on investment, especially if you house hack.Sure you may leave cash in the deal, but if you buy right, it could still be an extremely profitable and low-barrier to entry way to get into real estate.

That house won't have a profit for 3 or 4 years now. 

I also do consulting from time to time to share how leverage and build a profitable holding company or fix/flip entity.

If his fixed costs are $4000 per month his profit just doubled from $1000 to $2000 monthly.

In an oversimplified view, revenue of $1,000 and expenses of $1,000 offset to $0 and you made no profit...yet.

Fully occupied, the property grosses $5,570/month with $4690 net profit after expenses.

Even if your GC is decent was able to get your job done in 100 days, if it doesn't resemble the comps in quality then your 300k exit is now 270k and with all the exit costs and holding costs your 40k expect profit is now under 10k. 

Alternately, if you’re going to do this at volume, and you’ll have to since margins here are thin, I would attend some of the lender conferences.

Currently own a STR thats been profitable for almost 3 years now and in the midst of a Live-in Flip.
