I have also done some other research and have read about Fannie Mae home-style loan which basically encompasses what I have been saying and combines the cost of a "fix-er-upper" and the cost of said repairs, and wondered if this is common.

Keep in mind interest rates are going up and will probably continue to go up.

Personally when I can make more in profit in doing a flip in 6 months compared to re renting for years I will continue doing flips For me 10 or even 15% c on c is leaving money on the table with so many other ways to make more money

I definitely want to go about this in a proper way, so I'm continuing to look into what we need to look out for.

A lot of us continue to think we are at our peak, and then a home sells for a price I never believed would happen.

So lets continue to network and do more research to further our investment portfolio.

The required continuation of what your license will not be enough. 

There plenty of other things but it’s a business that continually improves if you run it right.

I would continue to buy more duplexes and continue growing, and learning and then maybe you can sell all and jump into something larger.

Unfortunately, you're playing his game by continuing the conversation.This happens to me at least once a year.
