What I am wanting to do is build some capital through some flipping and work toward buy and hold strategy at some point early on.So, what do I need?

@Michael WeisYou pay capital gains on sales the next time you file taxes.

My problem is that I have the credit but I don't have enough capital  $$ yet to do so. 

Michael Peralta If anything the 1% rule should change to the 2% rule if you have higher cost of capital.

I lack the capital and he lacks time to manage all his investments.

I purchased a second rental property in 2017 and it was not in service for about 4 months while repairs were done. I understand that all expenses during the not in service period are added to the basis of the property...

Hello,Had anyone used or know about Iron Capital group?

I figure I need 10% or more for capital just to see if I could get a loan for rental properties.

If you own it for 2 years as your official primary residence (where your driver's license and voting is registered, oh and where you officially live, of course), you'll qualify for the capital gains exemption up to $250k when you sell.Sometimes just having another pair of eyes helps to uncover your options.

You’re betting on appreciation and choosing to lose money monthly (rather than increasing a down payment) to make that educated guess and keep capital in the bank.
