I have had one baby for almost 10 years, and only this year did I have a non-routine vet bill (excision of 2 cysts, removal of 1 lipoma, several tooth extractions, laser treatment for arthritis).

It will be more like a diary on al the things I am doing with this flip from getting the lead, to making the call to signing the contract, to picking a contractor, to making the plans to doing the flip, to selling the house to getting my check, to running 3 laps around the block naked yelling like a baby pig waving the check high in my hand.

Because I didn't buy the property with the intent of using the BRRRR strategy and it is probably apparent in the numbers but I intend to re coupe as quick as possible and my next property will be using the BRRRR strategy so I can invest quicker than I currently am because my current plan was to purchase a property a year but I want to promptly ramp it up to 2 per year  for the next baby step and I am just trying to find the best strategy to ramp it up!

Consideration, your EM deposits, this is a gray area as to what is reasonable, but reasonable for real property is never ten dollars or a promise to kiss your baby. 

Hi Everyone, One of my tenants in a triplex are a married couple with a baby and two dogs.

Full time job, landlord, new baby, etc., you don't need extra stress. 

"Invest as if you have no money and invest as if the market will crash tomorrow"I forgot who or where i read or listen to this but i am pretty much optimizing my portfolio base on the above and ask this very question on every single investment purchase now. and Yes, according to Grant, Robert Kiyosaki, Petter Shiff, Trump, etc...there real crash is just around the corner. the 2008 one is just a baby one.I believe them. and prepare every single minute now.

I  worked on baby steps for almost 15 years to get into  "real" development.

And while living in downtown LA or San Francisco in a cramped apartment with 5 roommates is cool when you’re young and single swiping on Tinder, there’s one situation where it’s certainly not cool at all…When you’re pregnant.I noticed this trend back in California when I had several clients back to back that were all late twenties / early thirties with either a bun in the oven or a baby already here and they were looking to escape the high prices of the Bay Area and move into more affordable markets like Sacramento and Stockton in California’s Central Valley.Just take a look at Phoenix’s population pyramid to notice how it swells right in the sweet spot of people about to have their first kid and want to buy their first home shortly afterwards:And not only do you have the millennials here in the Phoenix Metro Area, you also have them moving from Los Angeles and greater southern California:https://la.curbed.com/2016/5/23/11753840/los-angeles-migrationAnd can you blame them?
