@Ryan BlakeInDouble double closing Could involve spending money for escrow right ?

Check title on every property for obvious issues before you spend a lot of time on it. 

No reason to spend extra money if it's not proven that you'll get it back at the end of your flip.

Our initial financing fell through and we had to scramble to secure backup financing.

If one is spending a million dollars or so for 300 bucks a month profit per building, not unit, there seems to be little reason to do so.

My pro pbmanager charges $15 for each 15 min they spend for coordinating contractors or doing any work related to the property.

That was a hard sell for me but I realize that I was making too many justifications for poor spending habits. 

You'll have no car payment, no gas payment, no auto insurance payment, won't need to worry about spending money on dates as you won't be having any, and given the 29 mile commute each way, you can cancel your gym membership if you have one.

There is an expression from Abe Lincoln that gets thrown around a lot on this site, it is "If I have 8 hours to cut down a tree, I will spend 6 hours sharpening my axe".

Want to make sure I don't get ahead of myself and spend when I don't too.
