We self-manage and have not had any issues.

Haven't invested there my self.

You run the risk of forcing your self to sell stocks at the wrong time. 

I used my savings from a self-directed 401K (solo 401K) Do you have any money saved?

b. what city & state your physical self is domiciled in?

I'm also unsure if I should use a 203k loan to finance the rehab, I'd prefer to do the bulk of the work myself and bringing in trades when needed and then refinance to get cash out when we're ready to purchase the next MFH, so I could see there being more savings if I self finance the renos through one of my 0% apr credit cards or just pay cash. 

I also utilize a self-directed 401K and at times use private investors or hard money.  

.  :-/  Could be self-managing just as easily. 

Hello and Welcome I started out very early in construction my self.

Heaven forbid, but how many projects that won't cash flow or don't produce decent ROI at 4 or 5% will cash flow or produce sufficient ROI at .5 or 1% interest?
