IMO its important to have plenty of reserves, it's not if something goes sideways, it's when it goes sideways.

If you think you are accomplishing something just because an all cash deal is PCF, it's an illusion. 

@Mayer M.Excel will be the best way to track your hours.You should have something where it is set up in the following wayColumn 1 = DateColumn 2 = Activity DoneColumn 3 = property #Column 4 = amount of hours spentGood luck!

Quote from @Virginia Frost: I'm always looking for a good opportunity but honestly my next purchase will probably be something that I don't have to do a total overhaul on.

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan me and my husband are thinking bout:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

I was wondering is starting off with an 2-1 apartment for around 75000$ in Gainesville Fl is something I should look into
