After the sale of the company, we have:9-15 months of personal expenses in savings to live off ofStart with $100k cash and do micro flips to avoid the risk of a hard money lender and losing our tail if something doesn't go right or sell quick enoughOnce the house sells, reinvest all the cash back into the next flip and continue doing this until we are doing multiple flips at a time (he can manage 4 large projects at a time by himself, so we assume up to 4 active flips at a time eventually)Pros of doing this:No longer having to manage W2 employees/operations (this used to be my role but now that we have kids I want to stay home, not do this)Getting a larger chunk of cash to start flipping quicker vs waiting 1+ years to save enough cash for the first flipUsing cash reduces our risk of losing money with a hard money lender if the project takes longer to sell, rehab, etc.
