We ranked all our monthly expenses with a 1 to 5. 1 being absolutely essential like food and shelter, 5 being totally frivelous - stuff we were spending money on which was neither necessary or enjoyable to us, like a storage unit we had because I couldn't be bothered to organize our garage more to make space for the stuff in the storage unit. 3 we would use for things which were not necessary, but we enjoyed.

This approach will impact your flexibility as you should really be committed to these investment decisions, as I would formalize each of these decisions and have them notorized.For those of you who don't flip to live, but rather to build wealth, this is something to consider and talk to a knowledgeable tax attorney who specialize in real estate (these are rare and sadly rarely hang out in forums).Just some food for thought.
