I personally have had need to sell a house here and there.

Even if you clarify that your return has "just 2 properties", it's still the same as clarifying for your contractor that "this house has only 2 bedrooms."

The new home needs renovation and he was was wondering if I would make a loan to pay for the renovation of his new home. 

In our market that's solid base hit given the higher rates and lack of supply. 98% of the houses I see negative cash-flow without creative opportunities (MTR, STR, rent-by-room) or BRRRR. 

I've got a house in Westchase that needs a roof replacement.MODERATOR: PLEASE NO PHONE NUMBERS OR E-MAIL ADDRESSES

Maybe women as a whole arent interested in these jobs or flipping houses >

For this house as it is relatively close to other homes we try to get no dogs and meet/approve any dogs if the tenants are good candidates most people don't have time for that.  

We house hacked it the first year, and maybe would have had enough equity to get a HELOC, but didn’t do it.

If you don't have a realtor involved, often you are going to get to live with those things for as long as you own the house. 

House hacking is a great way to get started.If you PM me, I'll send you my Chicago house hacking guide if you want it.
