I invest with PPR and other income funds through my IRAs.

It is disheartening to witness a mentorship program that boasts substantial financial success, with students allegedly earning substantial monthly incomes, yet fails to ensure that their own employees receive even the minimum wage they are entitled to.

I would underwrite buyers based on stability of income, financial payment history & ability to pay.

(Especially a 2-4 unit.)Do they have friends/relatives/co-workers that would rent rooms from them if they bought a property to show more income?

I could be wrong.What you tell contractors is: if you do not separate labor from materials, then I have to report my ENTIRE payment, L&M, to the IRS as your income, and then it will be up to you to deduct materials from that income on your end. 

But I would remain open to long-term rental as an option as this seems like a more stable option in terms of income, again this may be my inexperience talking.However, I have always  been somewhat risk averse and investing in real estate is always a big venture, in my opinion/experience, in terms of capital.

However, with a SFH you will lower your standards when vacancy arises more than one month as you have no income coming in to male that payment.  

The majority have evictions on their record, don't make enough income or have a lot of debt under their name.Comparing other rentals on Zillow, my asking rent is $1100 while other properties are trying to rent at $1200.

If one project slows down, others can keep moving.Stagger Projects: Start planning your next project while finishing the current one to keep your pipeline full.DSCR Loans: These loans focus on the property’s income, not your personal income, which can help you finance more properties.StrategyFlip and Hold: Flipping one property while prepping another for rental keeps cash flowing and builds your portfolio.BRRRR Timing: Since BRRRR is slower now, using DSCR loans to get multiple properties might be a good hedge.Good luck with your flip and future investments! 

My endgame is to end up with $300k/yr in post-mortgage income in 20 years based on investments I make now followed by continued investments over the next 10-15 years own.
