Your shift to land flipping and wholesaling is a smart pivot, those strategies can offer quicker turnarounds and lower capital intensity, especially when financing gets tight.

Quote from @Drago Stanimirovic: Most investors hit their ceiling because of capital, not opportunity.

It's one of those behind the scenes details that really makes a difference when it’s time to raise capital or scale.

Things like house hacking, wholesaling, or even partnering with someone who has capital are common entry points.If your goal is to eventually build a business, the first step is really education (which you’re already crushing) and then choosing one clear starting strategy instead of trying to do everything at once. 

I'm thinking about brining on a family friend as a business partner to split the work and bring additional capital, but I don't necessarily need them...This is obviously a big ask on a first time house hack, but would love to hear if anyone has ever heard of people successfully executing this strategy?

It's a great way to drastically reduce or even eliminate your monthly housing expense.If you live there for at least two years and then sell, you may qualify for up to $250,000 in capital gains to be tax-free (as long as it’s your primary residence).

I know capital can be a barrier to entry, but you can always raise capital and find partners to get your start. 

I have capital, lenders, contractors, just no deals!
