The assumptions are as follows:A - All flipping money will be reinvestedB - Flipping returns to be 5%/yearC - All cash flow to be invested into flipsD - Flips start when both options accumulate $50k in cash flowE - Both start with $100k and all money is in play at the startF - REI Buy(RB) = 100%; Tenant Buy (TB) = 20%...TB can buy 5 propertiesG - Cash flow with loan = $5k/year; Loan pmts = $5k/yr; CF no Loan = $10k/yrH - Properties appreciate at an average of 2%/year; @ 30 yr mark = $190k/ea"Ladies and Gentlemen,...start your engines".RB:1 - 5 years at $10k/yr to equal $50k to start flipping2 - Year 10 (5 years of compound flipping) inc. $10k CF at terms above = $125k3 - Year 30 (20 more years) = $637k4 - 1 paid off property w/appreciation = $190k5 - TOTAL = $737 + $190k = $927k TOTALTB:1 - 2 years at $25k/yr (5 properties @ $5k/ea) to equal $50k to start flipping2 - Year 10 (8 years of compound flipping) inc. $5k CF at terms above = $280k3 - Year 30 (28 more years) = $1.66M (remember the CF component is for 5 properties)4 - 5 paid off properties w/appreciation = $5955 - TOTAL = $1.66M + $595k = $2.26M TOTAL

That is a bit of a gamble.

@Leigh C I did these things even before what happened to this lady, so no knee jerking here.

But stocks are gambling for most (unless you have insider information or disciplined monthly investing on the index over a long time).

Failing health, gambling debt, legal troubles, divorce, etc.  

Her family member left this poor lady with a dead house which is one reason I'm trying to figure out a way to buy this house from her without ever having to deal with the family. 

Im working with a lady that bought a property last year (January 2023) with her now EX-Boyfriend.

I know a builder personally who received funding from a lady who owned a cleaning franchise. 

As for connecting, the REIA has 5 meetings a month- the General meeting is on the 2nd Tuesday (6-9), there's a "Roundtable Discussion" meeting on the 4th Tuesday (6-9), Breakfast on the Third Wednesday (8:30-10) and a Ladies only meeting the last Thursday (12-1) of the month.  

I don’t have any STR but we do have a couple of cleaning ladies that come in and spend a couple hours at our house for $100.
