I did so when I cash flowed at least all my W2 gross PLUS benefits plus a little extra.

We realize with growth comes the need of finding/bringing on more people to assist with all the tasks/extra work involved.Our goal this year is to find/complete a combination of 50+ BRRRRs/Flips, cashing out $20k+ more on the properties that we hold, and $30k+ more on the ones we decide to sell.

I currently have two private money lenders that I use, usually it is out of their self directed IRA.

Hi Victoria,For a BRRRR, investors usually use cash out refinances such as a DSCR loan.

Either way if there is enough to pull out to use for the down payment you only need 3.5%-5% for a new primary home and only 15% down for an investment SFR or 2-4 units.To take cash out of a primary you only need to have a 620 or better and for an investment usually 640-680 can land a decent rate. 

If he has subcontractors like plumbers or electricians I pay their bills but if he has a day laborer for something small and fast like to paint one room he usually pays those one off expenses under his company.

Especially with lenders that focus on business-purpose loans, there is usually no limit as long as your credit and liquidity is qualified.

That's not usually how it works in the real world.

An investor making 150k a year and worth 1.5 million is usually not a good fit because they are trying to do max yield investing to try to grow fast.

I’m usually used to approaching learning this way, but would appreciate advice on taking a different route.
