I spent 10 years working on my goal to gain a publishing contract and even though the money wasn't over the top, it was worth it. 

I think it's better to just keep properties together under one LLC if you are a small operation - even though there is always risk the amount you end up spending and time spent on overhead of keeping separate books, checking accounts, etc adds up fast.  

Well I spent the afternoon doing more research and learned it's likely not enough profit potential for a JV flip.

I spent another $50K to remodel this house.

Every time I see or hear the word "FLEX" involved with a commercial property it seems like it's an obsolete building that's laid out all wrong on the property, that was specifically built to manufacture something like steam powered typewriters.It will have low ceilings, loading docks unable to accommodate modern tractor trailers, and two phase electric.Even if the building is modern, It'll be built for some kind of business that was put out by some kind of big box retailer.

yeah, I was really aiming for Bigger Pockets, I type directly into the box without spell check and sometimes it bites me. 

I had to read this post because I have spent the last 2 days tearing off and replacing a roof on a rental.

As a new investor, you will learn real quickly the hoops you have to jump through and the boxes you have to check off to qualify.

I spent day and night on this site gaining as much info as possible and once I had all of the pieces in place, I froze.
