Realistically I want to flip year round, but I want to have enough rentals under my belt that surpasses my W-2 income so that I can use flipping money for funding....or travel!

I also a new real estate investor with just a couple deals under my belt.

I'm a fairly new wholesaler and just recently got my first deal completed and under my belt in August!

I have two properties underneath my belt (buy n hold).

While most Net Zero buildings are energy efficient, perhaps even highly so in comparison to minimum building code requirements, there is nothing requiring them to anywhere new the efficiency level of a Passivhaus   .... this is why you will see odd things like warehouses with large rooftop solar installations being able to claim Net Zero.On the other hand, Passivhaus sets three metrics which a building must meet to be certified as Passivhaus compliant:  The building must have a heating and cooling demand of not more than 15 kWh/m2 (4,755 BTU/sq ft; 5.017 MJ/sq ft) per year  and a peak heat load of 10 W/m2.Total primary energy consumption (energy for heating, hot water and electricity) must not be more than 120 kWh/m2 (38,040 BTU/sq ft; 40.13 MJ/sq ft) per yearThe building must not leak more air than 0.6 times the house volume per hour (n50 ≤ 0.6 / hour) at 50 Pa (0.0073 psi) as tested by a blower door.Ironically, the research and pilot projects which fuelled what eventually became the Passivhaus standard was carried out in Saskatchewan as a National Research Council (NRC) project in the 1970s (the house is still in use today) and a similar project (Minnesota?)

I am looking to go full bore investing after I get this experience under my belt.

(I'm talking about the BRRRR strategy, where "OPM" is the name of the game once you've got the first one under your belt)! 

I may need to put on the tool belt more in the beginning, but hope to automate the process as much as possible and employ as many people, creating value in their lives  Thanks again Dave.Ray Sample

Not only is the money good, I'd pick up essential salesman and negotiation skills taking it serious.But appreciate the reply, hopefully I have some property under my belt this time next year.One more thing, did you use any business entities for asset protection on your property?

See if the owner will carry the difference for 12 months while you get your new job under your belt and you can refinance the seller carry and pay them the balance then.
