If the goal is to become a full-time flipper/contractor, then doing tighter jobs can help build momentum for a business, that will pay dividends well beyond just the specific house, itself.  

I am 30 myself income is good and I love my job so I am not looking to replace my income, just looking to invest wisely and build wealth. 

That could mean working with an investor willing to fund the deal for a share of the profits or starting smaller with a house hack or live-in flip to build credibility, or putting sweat equity into a deal with a partner to learn and build your track record.

I have the opportunity to manage someone else’s 10 unit commercial building.

Due to recent building code changes, you can build a framed building up to 4 stories on a slab, which significantly reduces the overall cost of new construction.

In your experience is it common to calculate sq footage this way in buildings like this? 

@Michael VelezHouse hacking is a great way to start investing, as it helps you reduce living expenses while building equity.

We also have some buildings that are single family conversions not built with seperate utilities. 

Partnering with investors, attending local meetups, and building a strong network would be key steps.

Keep learning, build relationships, and take action—this can absolutely change your family’s trajectory!
