At the same time build an investment company that Holds and flips properties.

I'm looking more at buy and hold.  

I would even think of pitching this to buyers looking to buy and hold.

Both my wife and I look forward to getting to know our local and expanded BiggerPocket community.Our niches as we have (so far) defined, is buy and hold in the $150-250k range in North Dallas that will rent in the 1-2% range. 

I have a private investor (my friend, not experienced) who would like to give me a loan for an eventual flip (we are holding it for one year first which has nothing to do with the flip itself, but a family matter), and we agreed that I would pay her interest only on her principal for that year. 

When I feel educated enough, I'll also be looking to buy and hold multi-family properties in Tacoma.

We are mostly interested in buy and hold type properties (mostly SFR/MF).

alot of people will say they will hold offers till 7 days then decide.

My ideal plan is to obtain hard money loan to purchase and rehab both the properties, flip one of them to repay the lender and keep one to hold as I plan on house hacking and leasing to other tenants.

Heather Harrison I totally agree I don't feel like it's enough either and it's also holding me back from finding my first deal!
