I believe this is the BRRRR method?  

Hopefully I can one day become self employed and make REI my main source of income. 

Since Jan I have done several flips but now I am looking for advice and guidance in accounting, securing hard money loans, innovative methods of finding deals on properties... and a much more! 

I think you need to analyze far more deals than five a week and determine how you're going to find these off market properties and establish goals for your marketing method.

This is also going to be used as a method to obtain the 6-month cash reserves I'd like to have in savings. 

I understand that's a very personal and extreme decision but if she's unable to find full-time employment in GA, maybe she'll have better luck in CO.  

@Kayla Flynn You're right about that, if there's a single employer or a town with *only* a university, if things go south they REALLY go south. 

I no longer want to count on a company to keep me employed or their paycheck.

The only funding I have available to me would be from my IRA and 401k (rollover from previous employer) to purchase my first REI.  

The bill was introduced several months ago and was methodically working its way through the legislature.
