Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

If they will "cut corners" by not getting licensed, how well will the quality of work be?

How  do i know the contractor not cut corner, the seller refuse to disclose the scope of work done, and the contractor said he won't reveal it without seller permission, so they are basically say we won't give you any information beside invoice, other figure it out yourself with your own money, we don't' have obligation.

Well, if the RESET was a LT focus, Greenland and it's epic store of resource wealth would make all the more sense.

You're losing money, technically, storing it in the HYSA too.

Don’t forget heloc, DSCR, 2nd on primary, borrow from retirement accounts, credit card cash advance, property reserves, home improvement store credit, etc etc.

I have been using Stessa for years and don't want to lose all that I have stored in the program.
