I currently have a Full-time job and I'm looking to buy my first home, want to do a "live-in flip" of sorts.

My mortgage broker says that 6 months is a good amount of time after purchase.... that way it is more believable that you have affected improvements... but in the end, proving that you've done the improvements is what counts... even if it's less than 6 months.  

I have a full time job that I love as a product design engineer and I want to fulfill my other dreams which is owning my first Multifamily home.

We bought our first house in England while we were stationed overseas, and improved it while living there. 

Here are my numbers.Make 60 k per year at my job.1st home receive 2025 in rent .. mortgage is 1575.

Ultimately I'd like to find a G.C that can handle my projects, from demo to final finish.I'm looking to build a long term relationship with a company that possesses the following: Fair pricing, timely & efficient, communicative, can get the job done on time & on budget.

The house is worth around $140k.I have a job making a little over $100k a year.  

Nice job on the first investment property!

Selling a property for 1 mil that you bought for 500K leaves out some huge things like - closing costs, depreciation, capital improvements, tax bracket (yes it matters even for capital gains).  

Do you have any recommendations for reliable contractors that I should have price the job?
