So to answer your question... likse some people said abolve.. it depends. 

Quote from @Sidney Johnson: Hello all,Just writing to ask if anyone can recommend a book or books that outline the Live-in flip strategy.Thanks,Sidney Following I've read a few threads of people starting with live ins.

Focus on networking and learning from experienced investors—you're already ahead of 99% of people your age, so stay consistent and take action!

Two parents and 4 kids seems reasonable, but my houses are really tight with more than 8 people milling about. 

I think because I've been learning about it so much and talking to so many people, I'm in a state of analysis paralysis and I just need to pick a good deal and go with it with the team that I form.

Since we are two people, we can manage the negative cash flow together.

This comes from several data points, the first being the average age at which people are choosing to stop renting and buy their first home.

Ultimately I didn't learn too much I didn't already know after taking a few courses and reading a hand-full of books, and with most of people I've met and tried to talk with, it's been a pretty common experience that conversations go a lot like that. 

Considering that there are people living there already, it has a potential tenant (of course I understand the potential pitfalls there as well). 

These people are counting on you.
