If you don't sell, you don't eat.

Our goal is to use the BRRRR method going forward as we saw how quickly we can eat through capital with just putting 20% down every time.My question is this:Should I take that money, go and re-finance our home with that cash effectively putting another 20% of equity in our primary residence, and then take out a HELOC for the 70K that would be able to be used fund the next property.  

My options - 1) Sell the home, take the ~40k in equity and put that down as a portion of the down payment on our new home2) Keep the home and eat the 3600/year in negative, and hope the consistency of 12,000+++/year growth stays constant.

The real ROI with this flip was the experience and education I walked away with. 1- Financing costs and loan interest eat up profit so move as quickly as you can. 2 - Commit to a plan going in and stay with it.

Eat Ramen for a year straight, don't go out, don't buy alcohol, don't buy anything for a year.

Hard money from lenders or friends with rates at 8% and above is ok for short term but will eat your profits in the long run. 

Those additional holding costs are going to eat into that $3k, so it's getting close to a wash.

What you're describing is exactly like sitting down and eating a meal at a restaurant and then complaining to the restaurant that the food was no good.

Then you can get creative with the gift cards/points/credit card stuff and or financing and really get a good deal.I'd avoid Alibaba simply because any issues and you'd be unlikely to find a reasonable resolution...and it'd likely eat up any good deal you had going.

I'm tired of people getting away with not paying and the landlord having to eat the cost.
