Next time just give 90 days notice.

I had a mentor who stressed "you make your money when you buy"; the next place you get, be sure to haggle big time - and walk away if the price is not low enough.

It’s possible to start small, build experience, and scale over time.

This can 100% be done, but requires a lot of time, effort, and networking. 

I wanted to start tracking my daily hours in the business and wanted to understand HOW I need to do this so it gets approved come tax time. 

Would you be better off selling and purchasing a less expensive property that would require less carry should it become vacant for some period of time?

We are working on our first flip house and we didn't plan to do the BRRRR method, although it has come up in conversation multiple times due to the area it is in, we are still tossing the idea around of keeping it as a rental.

The other thing to think about is the length of time you've owned the property.

The longer you are able to hold your property, the more time appreciation will have to do its magic.

Time to get serious with the books.
