I realize too I may not get November rent but I am willing to cut my losses early on and start this project out my way.

I invest in southside flips mostly and looking for a cheap personal living situation in one of the nice north side neighborhoods, since coach houses are sometimes pretty heavily beaten up in the nicer neighborhoods it could be a project I could afford and take off the hands of someone while giving me prime location, then eventually a rental single family unit type property when I move into something bigger.

Jeremiah, here's my advice in a five-year plan so A) is patience:Year 1) start a single-member home-business LLC for FREE using bank bonusesYear 1-2) build a 720-800 FICO for FREEYear 1-3) season the LLC for FREE and target a 80 PAYDEXYear 1-4) save some cash by cutting back for a few yearsYear 4) study 10,000 properties for FREE and build a teamYear 5) target a small starter commercial project (4 units or more)using the LLC PAYDEX and 800 FICO when it's a buyer's marketrelying on good financials for the property more than your job6) rinse and repeat and SKIP RESIDENTIAL!!!

Either another live-in-flip or a brrrr project. 

I have a good plan for the funds that will allow me to earn a greater amount of cash flow (building an ADU at my primary) and I am excited to start work on that project.
