I had a friend actually keep his flip for his primary residence as his wife fell in love with the property and they had a baby on the way-however he used his own money to flip so he didn’t have to pay back a HML.Thank so much!

You can't put a 5yr old in the basement and have the baby next to the master suite. 

I also don't believe $180 is reasonable, it's just him and a new born baby and a 5 year old.

So what are the first baby steps?

I also don't give money to women street beggars with babies that may or may not have been given alcohol or heroin to shut up and sleep quietly for hours in the cold and the wet on their laps.

•Next steps for me: I promised my wife I would press pause until our new baby is born in December WHOOP and until I graduate from night classes (also December). 

Three weeks after she moved in baby #3 was born (I had no idea she was pregnant).

And my wife for the support.The best part of it all is we just found out we’re having a baby girl early next year and we added $100 automated principal payment each month to our 30yr fixed mortgage so that it amortizes when she turns 18 as @brandonturner suggests.I’m so grateful for bIggerpockets and the community it’s formed to inspire and support me through this journey.Next year I hope to do my first BRRR!

My post is a post mortem on my first deal, a condo in the DFW area, and is intended for baby RE investors, like I was.

They become babies and they revert back to the TESTING PHASE.
