.- cash flow from the rent is my not my only income source. assume that no matter what i will be able to put money to buy a new rental at least every 2 years, taking the 12k+extra amount (whatever that my be)+loan (whatever down payment i decide to put)- regarding flipping - i don't mind the work involved in this process but as i am not living in the us, i find it hard to do flipping. at least not when starting out.  

This is split between investing and brokerage, but it is still a substantial amount of time in the arena.The industry is not for the faint of heart.

My kids went to college mainly from my income from my  SFH income.I have small amount of time left with the last child.I have now taken upon myself to do a partial gut of my houseI live in.

Curious how others would take this amount of money and make a profit off of it.

My biggest concern is the crazy amount of construction going on here.

You can have a JV agreement drawn up that you use again and again just changing the parties, the properties and the amounts.

I am curious about Zelle - aren't there caps on the amount that you can transfer?

Find out how much the fines are likely to be and take that amount out of the deposit. if the tenant challenges it the HOA will likely have made a decision by the time your tenant takes any action.
