Personally, I've been looking to buy for YEARS and just haven't found a sweet enough deal to pull the trigger on.

I have some money as I mentioned for down payment, but I'd really like to pull my money back out ASAP to free it up, what is the best way to do this? 

Were permits for work pulled and closed out?

The last thing I want to think about when deciding whether to terminate a lease on bad terms or evict a non-payer is whether or not they are going to pull into my driveway when I'm not home and my kids are playing in the yard.This is a business that usually has positive personal interactions, but the potential for disagreements and hurt feelings cannot be ignored. 

By nature, my understanding is that flipping houses is considered active income, however, I don't do any of the work and I don't manage the projects.

Can I do this if the Airbnb I list is also my primary residence, we were thinking of buying pull out couches to add to the number of beds in the house?

I would love to reach out to brokers and ask for packages and analyze the deals and in the mean time try to build partnerships with investors things of that nature.

Just put on some running shoes and go for a jog to the nearby park, do some pull-ups on the monkey bars, and heck go talk with some people there while you're at it. 

Then later on down the line (1 year I believe is the time required for a owner occupied loan to refinance) once the property is Renovated and Rented out, I then refinance and pull some of the equity out of the house's new ARV and pay off my private money lenders?

Saw a REO and was going to put in an offer after being on the market for one day, but the bank pulled the home off the market to put it in a package deal.
