I'm currently learning about the Weighted Cost of Capital (WACC).

Had a 7x return on capital in four years and since it was our primary residence we avoided a big chuck of capital gains tax when we sold.

Didn't pay capital gains taxes since we lived there for over two years.

These things I believe have a tendency a run a course where the pendulum that has swung far to one side reverts back to the center by the force of its own weight.

Also consider you are turning a capital gain that might be taxed at 15% in to regular income taxed at your regular income rate.Be careful and study the rules/laws and consult experts.

Your not gaining anything, and in fact you're losing money.

.- I want to grow a construction business to where I can work with others in the remodeling aspect as well (Personal Business)- Gain as much experience in this field so that I may utilize real estate as a financial freedom cart!

You don't gain any added guarantee of the quality of the person you choose, just because they live next dor.3 - Better deals. 

I’d like to gain some credibility and experience in the market.As a background, my dream has been to be a franchisee, but I don’t know if the pay and workload are quite what I want to deal with for the next twenty to thirty years.
