My advice is get a real estate agent who is also an investor, make sure to walk the properties yourself (if that means flying into town that couple of days and flight cost may save you tens of thousands, the number of out of state investors I have met who are up **** creek without a paddle are numerous)  and run your numbers forward backward side to side for every strategy. do you have a back up plan to your back up plan?

I have many years of construction experience and have also done a fix and flip, in addition to ground up construction, as well as 10 years of entrepreneurial experience running a paddle board rental company, and advancing science through developing theoretical methods for efficient large scale simulations...I guess my problem is I can't seem to figure out how to find the money to do more projects, which is why I've been trying to sell my house.

I'm not in the same boat but I'm definitely paddling along nearby.

This would probably help since the next one I build I could immediately put for sale and do a short term rental while it sells.I have many years of construction experience and have also done a fix and flip, in addition to building ground up construction, as well as 10 years of entrepreneurial experience running a paddle board rental company... i have a BS in Physics from Georgia Tech , a PhD in Theoretical Chemistry from UT Austin, and did Postdoctoral research using Computational Engineering where I designed, manufactured, and tested a shock mitigating metamaterial...

You have some great goals and sound pretty adventurous so you are in the right industry lol I love hiking and would love to kitesurf but will start with paddle boarding first. 

Upgrades/repairs include:flooring (tile and carpet, entire house), painting (entire house), complete kitchen renovation with new appliances, cabinets, sink, lightingcomplete bathroom renovationsupgrade/replace ACupgrade/replace existing hot tub  upgrade/replace furniture/bedsupgrade/replace old pier with newadd new kayaks, paddle boards, and bikesI am thinking anything that is removable (furniture, appliances, water toys, bikes, pier, etc) could qualify as an asset for the LLC and thus be used as a tax expense for the LLC.  

First, I want to point out the quality of these pics… I’ve done game rooms, movie room with projectors and popcorn machine, coastal properties we added cruising bikes and paddle boards, there’s a never ending list of additions you can add.

I considered using my 26' 16 person pontoon as a rental and I have 2 kayaks and 2 paddle boats.
