Be on the lookout for when VRBO automatically changes your cancellation policy to Flexible too. 

Pros to my current position: Secure, w2, pay is above average, benefits are stellar, schedule is somewhat flexible (can leave if I need to without penalty; vacation when I want - utilizing banked time on both), 3 miles from home, and hopefully a pension in 17 years. 

However, navigating the legal and financial complexities of Subto deals requires careful attention, so I’d recommend working with a real estate attorney to ensure everything is structured correctly.Securing private money for the closing is a smart move, but ensure your terms allow for flexibility in case of unexpected repairs or delays in cash flow.

@Robin CastilloStarting an LLC before buying properties offers benefits like liability protection, tax flexibility, and professional image.

They overcharge people and pigeonhole them into their strategy without any flexibility.

Appreciation:You're absolutely right that cash flow gives you the flexibility to cover operating expenses, deal with vacancies, and manage surprises early on.

Im not a flipper but I've done a few projects that required short term loans and have found that private money is:  1. cheaper, 2. more flexible, 3. excited to be part of the journeyPeople would rather pay a stranger who would happily foreclose on you 10-14% but hesitate to ask their own Aunt if she would want to make invest at 9%. 

Plans can always change, but having that kind of flexibility is key.

This allocation offers a blend of growth potential and stability while ensuring flexibility. 

This gives you flexibility to draw funds as needed rather than taking a lump sum upfront.2.
