Hey guys who has some good hard money lender suggestions im going to jump in and do my first flip using hard money wish I had a cheaper way but im confident I can pull it off

By the end of this assignment (I move again June 2021), I will have 3 properties netting ~$1700/mo.My question is, on my timeline I have another 14 years of active income to turn into passive income - should I start rolling my $1700/mo back into my mortgages to increase cash flow from rents, or should I focus all of my funds on acquiring new properties?

., to increase my net worth and cash flow. 

This seems really high to meXCan this amount increase after closing?

I know once I actually go through the experiences and I am actually DOING these transactions I will have more confidence in what I am doing.

That's just a first glance, but that might lead one to lean towards Sacramento as a play for appreciation and rent increases over time, but lean towards Stockton for cashflow today since the prices are lower.... up to you what your goals are.Anecdotally, you hear a lot more people saying "I'm taking my high income job working from home, and moving my 'home' to Sacramento, and just driving to the Bay Area once a month for the monthly work meeting!"

Here's what I set aside per unit:Taxes:  ~ $100 per monthTurnover expense:  3.5% GSRWater/Sewer/Trash: $30-$45 per monthMaintenance: 12%Cap Ex: 2.5%Overhead: 1%Insurance: ~$25/mo.Debt service (100% leveraged): $350-$400EVERYTHING ABOVE is increased by 10% to account for vacancyAll told, each unit still cash flows between $100 and $200 per month.These are B-/C+ small MF properties.Note I do not pay for management as I self-manage, but that is offset by the increased debt service created by the 100% leverage. 

I believe adding partners should be based on increasing revenue and profits. 

Because this article takes a different approach and median price increased ...

After you will be done with deferral maintenance in a few years you may be able to increase the rent and see a better cash flow.
