I'm reading tons of threads and articles on Fix n Flips...I'm still not understanding the numbers.Look, I like to keep things as simple as possible...I feel like, we as humans have a huge problem making things more complex than they need to be.Let me give you a mock up example that I pulled from a fix n flip thread right here on BP...these are the end results:" Sale Price=$265,000Rehab Costs=$44,000Closing Costs=$15,000Holding Costs=$5,500Purchase Price=$156,000Net Profit=$44,500  "This is one of many cases  I'm seeing around - I don't understand....if...u put in 66k...but profit 44.5k - it sounds to me like you just lost about 15k after all your hard work and efforts to flip the house. 

WoWW....Humans...:)

@Harry Standafer Yeah it was definitely scary, especially because he had 5 full grown pitbulls living in the house and was rumored to be a drug dealer as his profession.

If you work for a car dealer at least you're given inventory to sell.

At the same time, I want to start a family and to be the very best dad I can be by being with my kids as much as humanly possible and spending the least amount of time on work.

This seems to be a lazy human's way to jump into investing, but I feel it would be a good way to learn some of the processes of investing while avoiding warming waters and time consuming rehab projects.

However, there's a human element and I do have compassion for my ex.

But, that's not how the human mind works.

I'm planning to make my first LTR property within the next 6 months and in the meantime working toward that goal by building great contacts, educating myself as much as humanly possible, and securing a HELOC.
