She's helped others get their license when they were out of state and shorted the curve so she might be able to help you know the plan.When you get back to OKC, you might consider Spearhead Realty to place your license since we are investor friendly and have a different model then most brokerages (ie transaction vs commission splits).

I am currently a UPS route delivery Driver.

At least when the correction finally occurs, it will be less drastic down east as valuations are not hyper-inflated.When we analyse a prospective property - or as we update the actuals and projections on properties we hold - we typically model both w/ and w/o appreciation.  

Without inflation adjustments, and dividend reinvestment enabled, the annual S&P 500 return from 1995 to 2015 has been about 8.6%, so, in this very specific, simplistic, model, it seems to come out better.Naturally there's way more factors that play in - love to see folks poke holes in this and tell me where I went wrong, and what guesses/assumptions I missed calling out!

That's going to be a perfect fit with your biz model of rehabs.

@Nathan Weaver also look up/google Mitch Stephen as this is his business model too.

It shouldn't be too difficult for you to get up to 4 properties, after that you'll have to go to smaller banks, private lenders, or... if you can show the bigger banks that you know what you're doing, spreadsheets that show the numbers, cashflow, and business model of your real estate business, they should keep lending as long as you're cashflowing and have a relationship there.

But it can be doable.The obstacles I think you're going to have to overcome:1) Your model relies on being able to do cash out refi's on your buy and hold deals.

I follow the model of 2-5-7 Cash Flow For Life very closely for all my investments.

My business model is a little different from yours but I use Excel to keep track of ALL of my information.
