I definitely want to scale but with people I like.

Going from a $232K purchase to a $575K sale is no small feat, especially with a full excavation of the foundation and reframing involved.I’ve got a buddy who tried something similar outside San Diego last year.. he had to reinforce the entire property with a new slab and rebuild the interior layout from scratch.. definitely not for the faint of heart, but his final sale price turned heads in that local market.

I’m definitely interested in learning more about investing as well—wholesaling seems like a great starting point to build capital.

In terms of what you are doing, you are on the right path.

You are definitely in the right place to meet like-minded people and congrats on your first two properties/4 doors! 

Definitely speak to your accountant.2.When you go to refinance, the lender will look at several factors - the value of the property, use of property etc.

It's definitely not for all, but can be done. 

The nat'l trends are definitely not relevant, local is all that matters.

I don't have the skill set YET to gauge rehab costs and try to BRRRR, but I'd like to learn.This is definitely a choice but my option is that you will do better if you focus on duplexes and cherry-pick a few SFRs as you come across them.As for your Strengths, it sounds like you have an excellent ability to save and your ability to bulk analyze data will serve you well to identify big-picture areas, property types, and characteristics to focus on.I like that you realize the first investment will not be your best investment.

Definitely reach out to her.
