Creating some processes that can scale could allow more business growth, more income, and more free-time to eventually aim towards your goal of RE investing.

I aim to create a no-******** course that is immediately useable out of the box!

By using the FHA opportunity for all that it is worth, I will not only be "saving" on my own living expenses but also potentially getting into a situation which can supplement my income. 

A few that come to mind:• Aim for 1 parking spot per unit at a minimum.

I think the big thing here is you are greatly supplementing your living expenses, which is the largest contributor to peoples expenses. 

My aim is to use this capital to do atleast 4 Flips from May to September probably with homes that have an ARV of 100K.

See guidance at the CA department of consumer affairs (http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/legal_guides/lt...).When purchasing a property with inherited tenants, I will aim to keep the existing tenants subject to two things: 1: do they keep their place up appropriately, or are they undesirable to the environment I want (ie: I have decided not to keep a hoarder who kept 4 animals inside the house and had an adult child living in their garage, and a house where one of the tenants was dealing drugs) or b: the unit is in reasonable shape and does not need a full rehab.If I decide to keep a tenant in place, I will generally do work around the property and in their unit before I proceed with a rent increase.  

I would divide them out individually I would not want any balloons in there I would try to get 6% interest I would aim for ability to pay off early ( another reason for individual) 

And/or, I always also suggest: aim to find ones that you can get cheaper than market!

I want enough passive income to supplement mine and my wife's W2 jobs so we can focus on what we love.
