Don't get me wrong, it gets you in the game, but this would be a lot of money tied up until you refinance and even so, it's not a very good ROI. 

I think of it like  trading paper stocks game. 

Maybe laziness is a poor choice of words, the industry is more of a marketing game than a true service business.

You can find the same in any industry or field where any proposal for change is met with a bureaucratic system to determine the absolute best way to do it.

as a side note.. this is why our industry is better off than pre 08.... people have to actually qualify for loans.. it is frustrating I know..

Or does this happen fairly often in this industry?

Worry about this process a little later in the game.

Account Closed, was just trying to point out that if you are want to make your first flip also your primary residence then going multi-family can ease your monthly nut and be more profitable in the long-term, even if selling is your end game.

I realize that is not a huge amount, but just trying to up my game and see if there are other considerations, I might be missing.Thanks

But I'm wondering if I should up my game and install one of those storage systems, this should rent north of $1800.
