The only downside is that i will be loosing on compound interest until i pay it back.

Being new to the area, getting a lay of the land is my biggest learning curve. 

You still have to learn the trade, but that's the biggest hurdles investors have in the beginning which is accurate data to make decisions on.Good luck

Here is the summary of my situation that requires creative thought:Location: DC Suburbs (Clifton, VA)Original sale price: $300KOriginal mortgage: $240K ($60K down)Money spent rehabbing property since 2008: $70KTotal cash invested: $130KCurrent sale price (based on comps): $430KAmount owed on mortgage: $208KPotential cash generated from sale: $($222K, not including transfer costs)Estimated Monthly Rent: $2,200Current Monthly Payment for M/T/I: $1,300 *Biggest yard and likely one of the most updated homes in a desirable community where "average days to sell" is less than 14.Now the issues:Need $100K-$150K out of the house (or via investment) in order to put down-payment on next home, which will be primary residence (probably a $600K home).I've plugged numbers into every rent-or-sell calculator out there, but always feel like I'm missing something big.

What is the biggest AH-Ha!

I want to hear from all the investors on here and learn what is the biggest driver for real estate investors.  

What would you say are your biggest takeaways or lessons, if any, that you got from completing a BRRRR deal?

Is reach out to experienced flippers but you guys are contractors and as from what I understand contractors are "the" biggest element in a flip after the purchase of the property.

What would be the best way to basically cash out the biggest on my first deal?
