The majority of businesses fail within a couple years, so they want to see two years worth of self employment to prove the income is sustainable. 

My primary aim is simple: To create a sustainable and meaningful life for myself, share my experience with those around me.

. - I like the creation aspect - creation of houses that I'd like to live in, creation of a sustainable living (hopefully for many future years as well).- I like studying real estate - learning more about what I'm doing, learning about what other people are doing, learning about all of the aspects of building construction that I can.- I like seeing what's happening in my cities and others - what works, what doesn't.- I like design and I like function - creating a strong combo of these things interests me.- I like the people I meet along the way.

The Multiples of M1 to M3 went way beyond sustainable.

I still need to go and vote for them, however its hard to find a wrong answer...The reality to the answer lies in the type of HML and The likelihood of sustained or increased future value after rehab.Which is why i always look at the "AS IS" value over the ARV value.
