You mentioned already having done 2 flips and having 2 rentals under your belt. 

Just use this as another tool ( a frequent tool ) in your belt.

Hi @Ken Biggs I think you need to get some basic education under your belt.

As you say "working like a dog" to reach my goals.Now that I have several BRRRR deals under my belt and I am looking to expand REI strategies.
