I cleared $10k on my first one.We ended up clearing $30k on the second one.The last flip was very stressful for my wife and she wants to keep our finances (HELOC) out of the next one.I am going to look to find a financing partner to cover the carrying costs of the next flip.On a $400k house (average for my area), the total investment would be $85-$95k and would be paid directly to the lender and subs/suppliers, not to me.I can bring the lender, as I have a good rep with the one I use.I will do all the rest.

But if you're working with and agent that has an investing background and you lack experience, it's totally worth it.

@MIchael McCUe, maybe you want to think about what investing "strategy" you want to use first.

I am just thinking ahead, just in case, but wanted to get input on what options I could have with current tenants in a lease that might not expire for close to 1-2 years from now in the event I "needed" to sell a house or two, either for a better cash position for myself, or to 1031 into a larger investment property, etc.?  

@Roi Azoulay I have been very happy investing in the Poconos for many years now.

Buffalo is a good city to invest in for cash flow with a low barrier to entry, but you need a great team in place to pull off what you are trying to do.
