My guy will be doing the same.Year 3 we plan to make the move together and build (my guy works for a builder so huge discount there)After year 3 and we are settled and married and living in our home and we would have our duplexes we would love to continue into flipping, or BRRRR maybe one per year….

Then you take those funds and roll them into the next deal all the while continuing to grow your investment.

As it has been said, I would tend to lean towards continuing to rent.

If your short term rental is advertised on a platform not doing this, then the operator must continue to report and pay HOT directly to the city every month.

You have about $280,000 in equity in your home and you want to put it to work doing a fix and flip this year and continue that model.

could do really great charitable things with that kind of money) and more than likely even if retired at a young age, I plan to continue investing and scaling.
