As for by-the-room rentals, many lenders won't allow that and if they do, they qualify you off of the long term market rents (which, as I'm sure you can imagine, would be considerably lower than the actual per-room rents).

Realistically im probably at least a couple years away.

With today's high interest rates, it usually doesn't make sense.

With the future being so uncertain I realized there was a need to do more than just rely on my job for financial security. 

Pre '2010', maybe just maybe it will lean heavier on the fundamental mechanics than specific processes. 

So someone who lends based on deposits and relationships rather than a broker who would sell your loan.

I do manage the books for a couple of my own businesses that are under the main business. 

Also for a BRRRR in general to create enough equity to refinance out your money and create a cash-flowing rental you usually need to start with a VERY distressed property and do a significant rehab.

If you used a loan to rehab your property and find yourself in a difficult position, doing a straight refi (just paying off the old mortgage) will be easier than trying to pay off the original loan and take additional cash out.

Flipping is actually more a business than it is investing and you know how much goes into that.
