Although I have over the years invested in California, I am venturing out of state now as cash flow is my goal at this point.

The goal is to do a flip without putting 20-25% down if that’s possible.

Ideally - you would like to have a chat with your advisor when you acquire and sale a property.There are a couple CPA's here on Biggerpockets who you can interview with and see if you would be a good fit.

I have goals, I achieve my goals but still I'm left feeling like I need to be doing more.

My goal is to anazlyze 5 properties a week and throw out 2 offers a week (as long as the numbers work of course!).

So if repairs (plus holding costs) are no more than $15.5k - it fits the strategy.

But I just see them as the most fragile form of income, particularly if your goal is to build consistent and stable long term revenue and wealth as an investor.

All the best to your success in achieving your real estate goals.

Refinancing a loan that was initially used for business purposes (purchase/rehab) seems to fit the bill, including private unsecured loans and credit cards.

Overall goal buy a 3 unit house hack and Airbnb one unit to cash flow more than 7% cap
