What do you want to learn and what do you want to achieve?

Even in a rapidly appreciating market, this is near impossible to achieve in one year if the original home is close to turnkey at purchase.I spoke with my mortgage broker yesterday and he told me there is a product that recently started being offered that is called a VA Renovation loan (I am looking to do the same thing you are). 

It just made the most sense to me, and the best way to achieve cashflow. 

The main variable is rent achieved or acquisition of land costs.You have to compare a new site versus buying an existing building for less than it cost to build per sq ft and retrofitting.

Does it still achieve whatever you were trying to do, or are you going to live there? 

What it comes down to is the numbers and what you are trying to achieve.

As well as Joshua Dorkins from Denver, Colorado with the guidelines for the intro.My name is Alejandro Condis Reyes Alias “NONO”.I am originally from Cuba, but I am currently living in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.I have a dual license as a Massage Therapist as well as Physical Therapist Assistant and I am currently working on both professions.About three years ago a friend of mine introduced me to the book “Cash Flow” from Robert Kiyosaki, and after I finished reading it, I knew that I have to do fundamental changes in my life; otherwise, I would not be able to achieve my goals.

First world problems.I don't think the 2% rule is a typically achievable goal anymore.

To achieve financial freedom and retire early.

The goals that I hope to achieve through real estate investing are: 1) to provide a cash flow stream for my mother as she gets older and requires assisted living or nursing home facilities, 2) provide a cash flow stream for my younger brother (who has Down's Syndrome) as he gets older and requires assisted living facilities and increased medical attention, and 3) provide a means of early retirement for me and my older brother.While listening to BP podcast #276 (my favorite) the other morning, I had that lightbulb moment of how to get started in real estate investing.
