And while it looks pretty good and much improved, there is more than a few pieces of evidence that it was flipped quickly/a little carelessly (we knew this going in from the home inspection, but its a huge sellers market and were willing to take the risk and additional work ourselves).

Ambition is key, starting moving some pieces together and see how you can get started on your own. 

I've already posted the first proposal, in the "Multi-Family and Apartment Investing Forums" I got some good real-estate pieces of advice 2 days ago.

@Arlen Chou yes vinyl planks for the bedroom I have the master bedroom left but thank you for the inspirational words every piece of information and encouragement in the BiggerPockets Community has really helped a lot thanks a ton guys!

@James Kojo, I have made some calculators based on the formulas I found from BP and else where, you are totally right, I am looking to get all the different pieces like all the various expenses and how mucg to estimate and put it together in a format, that will be convenient for me to use.

Yes Richard Smith Enterprises LLC he or she is lying piece of ****.

My only piece of advice I'm qualified to give is mortgage/financing related: as you start this new endeavor, I would strongly recommend sitting down with a mortgage/financial professional and sharing with him/her both your short-term AND long-term goals.  

This will be a piece of cake for you.

I saw a video on here where the dad was reading a book about his rehab to his children.I think it would be fun to have some books that talk about rehab and other real estate concepts,  with more advice and instruction to young adults.My granddaughter loves Bob the Builder and has "helped" me on a few house projects. mostly spackling and painting, (she is 4 lol)I think a pop up book with before and after pics of houses, a tape measure that can be pulled out to measure stuff, a piece of pretend sand paper to "sand" a rough spackling job ect. 

All to be verified by your tax person as I am not able to advise you specifically.If you are a super slow flipper and take 2 years to flip it, unless you can show that you at least attempted for a reasonable amount of time to rent it out or otherwise get it qualified as an asset and not just a piece of inventory, then it is still marginal tax rate.
