Be completely offgrid by installing a 2,000+ gallon water tank which will be filled by a company as needed, solar and wood burning stoves.

At least with a GC you have more options to fire them without burning the bridge with your PM.

Keep the fire burning and pursue your goals in life.

If they're fairly comparable, it'll typically be a good investment for you personally to purchase a home, as you will be paying into equity every month, as opposed to burning cash.

That way you're not burning the ships.Also, I think flipping to "generate cash" will be very, very tough. 

I'm having a heck of a time just getting the code department to do their job on a flip, and it's burning some major pocket holes. 

having to invest  100%  of a deal  to make it  cahs flow isnt a wise  idea  ( unless you have  money to burn)

I'm sure there is some "don't do that, you'll get burned" opinion, and I understand, but I'm blessed to be able to do this, and I want to help them out so they have the best chance of having a half-decent interest rate should rates go up another 2-3% in the next 10-12 months. 

Fat thumbs I guess!!!

Obviously lenders make most of their money off specific deep relationships (bigger flippers) than one off deals, however you can also imagine if a single operator gets burned out or is showing signs of being behind or giving excuses for other jobs (bad contractors, other delays), that they may want to risk their exposure because probably ALL or almost all of the 7-10 projects go south.
