-As a broad stroke i didnt see that a 2br/1ba Condo was any Simpler on the math side, it wasnt some massive cash cow no one was catching, when you take rent and HOA fees Its basically like buying a home that's valued at $185-210k, its just that often times you can charge rents that line up with the 1% rule because a condo is often times in a more urban setting and as a generalization they match up.

I was able to get a couple sales and match my income from my previous W2 job.

Better yet, think about creating a separate LLC for each flip (but again, IANAL, so check with one before going too much further)Third, consider that you may want an S-Corp for your flipping since that is Ordinary Income (NOT CAPITAL GAINS) and you'll owe not just ordinary income tax on that, but also possibly/probably self employment taxFourth, keep tracking each property's expenditures and matching it against its income when you sell it. 

This situation is one of the down sides of adjusting rent due date to match pay checks.

@Kamenin Earl Banks if you are getting a 401k match from your employer, I‘d want you to grab that free money first.

I actually heard about Exist Reality and there meet ups didn't match with my work schedule.

There is a distinction on lending criteria between 1-4 units which are residential and 5+ units which are commercial.A residential loan, you typically get 15, 20, & 30 year fixed terms.

Get the match and no more.  

The Realtor will get you into places and you can make sure your eyes match what the pictures are showing you.
