I'd like to add another SFH to the business  in the near future with the main goal being grow the business as fast as possible. 

Future deals should include a 10-15% buffer for unexpected rehab costs.- You should consider some other lenders.

It does however give you a degree of independence to choose what you want to do.As your portfolio grows you'll also feel the weight of future capex responsibility more, which ironically points you to growing more cash flow through more real estate.The other issue is that you are chasing a moving goalpost.

I've been thinking a lot about Florida and I believe it's a great state for future potential investments such as purchasing and renting out (utilizing the BRRRR Method Of Course).

Although I will say as it relates to just wholesaling he finally figure out there was no real future and got his RE licnese and has built that brand which will last much longer than wholesale gigs.AS for the high pressure sales tactics and bring in 300 students as we have all talked about for years only 10% of the folks that go to those do anything with it long term but some do quite well actually.

Thats your bonafides to being able to do future deals.As mentioned above, keep your credit perfect.

Maybe in the future I'll just start any post with the headline "NEWBIE INVESTOR QUESTION" and I'll get sympathetic pats on the back instead of bewilderment at my zany ideas that are unbecoming of someone experienced 😂

Others recommend tools like Stessa or Buildium to track actual costs and project future expenses. 

From there, I would like to consider a 1031 exchange in the future to acquire more units.My current property management company suggested that they could handle a mid sized apartment building but I would absolutely not consider them for it as I believe they have overextended themselves and communication is lacking.

For context, downtown Alexandria performs super well as a rental market and bringing in $5.5k+ as the monthly rental income if you choose to move out of the househack in the future will be absolutely feasible (depending on the property of course).
