I know the traditional advice would always be to start a business if you have a high likelihood of running it successfully. 

Don't get caught up in the "if I go with this person I can make X but if we get traditional financing we can make X"  You already know the reason because you're experiencing it.  

@Christian SifuentesWhat's the loan amount you're looking for in BelAir Edison? 

The ones that think they do are usually following the traditional BP model...and they'd be wrong.You have to "reverse engineer" it, starting from your Financial Goals, and working your way to where you are right now.  

You would need a cash buyer, not a traditionally financed home buyer.

Wanted something dynamic and not the traditional list data that goes bad and needs updating. 

There aren't a lot of duplex here that are like that , it's strange I don't really know the reason why But they cash flow great I have 2 but there both apartments style vs traditional.

I'm not a handyman nor do I have any interest in that but I love the deal and analysis that comes with the world of investing and flipping.I live at home with mom and she is discontent with my career choice as I only work about 25 hours a week and not a traditional 9-5 schedule.

Being in WA with high transfer costs and always being aware of tax burdens, I have modified the model from the traditional buy & flip a bit, but that's my new venture for now. 

You can build up an Airbnb, charge more per night, and get more cash flow than traditional renting.
