Personally I like to do things the "right way" and if you plan is to grow you may be better off hiring it out. 

If so they may have a real estate license or they may work with an agent that relies on repeat business rather than a one-off purchase. 

I make around $110k+ per year, live off around $75K, have a mortgage ($1900/mo for rent, escrow, tax), around $40K in equity, and no other debt. 

For example, we have a minimum rent we're aiming for when we manage other properties because it's not worth it for us to manage a small property.The ideal client is someone who truly wants to be hands off and hire an expert to manage their MTR.

This lets your HSA grow, and since qualified withdrawals are tax-free, putting more aggressive investments in an HSA can pay off in the long run (similar to the “put your risk in Roth” idea).4.Rollovers & Debit CardsMost brokerage HSAs come with a debit card, so spending isn’t too hard if you ever need to.

Things in your tax filing need to be really off to do this.Being a REP/active participant and using cost seg to offset a spouses (or your own if that's all you do) W-2 wages is fairly common practice.

You can do a lot off of spreadsheets in the beginning, but eventually you need automation. 

It seems like the initial amount for the 1st year on 10 flips is off.
