As my wife is a realtor, we’ve helped several people from Bigger Pockets find their second home/STR.

The challenge was separating business from personal relationship.

I've been expanding my business investments and interests. 

Flipping is a production business.

I use an excel sheet I created that includes the date, REPS category, property, description of activity/activities, the people / tools of the activity and the hours spent on the activity.

For people to get a better sense of what you accomplished feel free to provide more details.

I have 7 MTR and my income is 1.7x my long-term rates ($1200 vs $2000), but that is very specific to my properties, my location, my business model, etc. 

Ride your bike and talk with people you see.  

Similarly, quality dividend-paying companies often retain some earnings to reinvest in their business, increasing the company's (and your) value over time.

She is a delightful honest business women.
