You are off to a good start. you are welcome to view any of my projects when I am flipping a house.

Sorry, I know there's a lot of material out there on this topic but I still can't seem to make a decision on what type of business structure makes the most sense for me.I'm just starting out, but my plan is to start out with wholesaling and "fix and flips", and eventually get into buying rental properties.

BUT if you are going to flip it....the buyer is going to ask for the roof to repaired.  

I have a flip closing this week in Chattanooga TN and am having trouble locking down a good contractor to do run the project.

Assuming we are talking single family, very limited exit strategies/investor pool (high-end rehab/flip, STR/airbnb, rent by room model). 

So based off this calculation I determined that my portfolio is strong enough to move on with my expansion plan into a new market.Business expenses as % of total expenses : 70% 1) Fixed Expenses: a)Monthly Mortgages: 45% b)Property Taxes: 18.7%c)Utilities Expenses: 14.8% d)Licenses & Insurance: 5.4% 2) Variable expense - Water bills + repair expense : 16%Personal Expense as % of total expenses: 30% My monthly living expensesa)Housing: 39.7%b)Child Care: 25.4%c)Living expense: 22.2%d) Food: 7.9 %e) Insurance: 4.8Income 1) Total Income - 100% A) Rental Income: 42% B) Wage income (W-2) : 26 % C) House Flipping Revenue: 23% D) Property Management Revenue: 5% E) Stocks/Dividends: 4% Please let me know if you would like help walking through this process as it has been super helpful to understand my financial situation or send you the spread sheet I used.

I am considering doing some flipping here in Alaska to create some capital and perhaps do some rentals once I get back to the lower 48.

I have also built relationships with several contractors in the area as well so flipping is another are of interest.

How many houses do you generally flip per year?
