If you are hoping that this property will stand on its own with you living in it and not having to put your active income into it, then it might not be the best option for you right now. 

Let's hope your house doesn’t end up the same as that one did this Xmas and that Die Hard isn’t your Xmas template either.

I hope to open at least 1 more this year, maybe 2. 

It would be a rare new RE investor that could hope to have taken on this project without partners with experience.My point is investors in different stages of life and experience have different criteria for their RE investments.  

I get that you want to do this to earn money to hopefully buy your own property and then become an investor.Have you looked into wholesaling?

I'm hoping they refund the fee that was supposed to be good for 6 years since I'm not even at a full 2 years with them.  

Hope this helps.  

Good luck, hope this helps!

Here's to a great 2025 and I hope everyone is having a great day!

Best of luck on your flip, and I hope it’s the first of many successful projects.
