Hopefully those projects will serve us well for our first flip.At this point, we have decided that combining flipping and rentals will allow me to contemplate leaving my day job sooner than retirement and to work for us instead.Good luck with your next one.

I was wondering if it would be possible to acquire both properties using a hard money lender, and then do a cash out refinance on both properties at once since technically it would be an $80,000 portfolio.Do you guys think banks would be willing to do a cash on refinance on two deals worth 80K combined?

Current rates for combine Property and Liability are $0.40 in Dayton OH and $0.50 in STL.So in Peter's example, he has a $0.50 rate. 

(Make about $70,000 combined including benefits)Have a personal home worth $181,000 and owe about $161,000.

King County needs (Kennydale/Renton area)Currently need someone to modernize stairs.

It can combine and report business, rental, and personal info.

Chase didn’t forgive my second mortgage, so they combined my first and second, and modified my loan for 40 yrs.

To me it is the right combination of maximizing commissions but also getting exactly the tools, training, and support I need. 

That, combined with the ever increasing burden of monthly rent has led me to Bigger Pockets.

Repairs and CapEx should be closer to 15% combined (I understand this was just renovated a few years ago, but you're planning for averages over a long-term hold).
