Let's get this straight!

In theory, you can get the same information if you look online, but here it will be condensed, straight to the point.

Let me get this straight.

I would suggest leasing a commercial space for your business first before you go straight to purchasing a space.

Try COGO funding, as this is their funding...go straight to them maybe?

Not sure I'd recommend jumping straight into a flip, but if you're buying in cash you'll have less risk. 

The agent says that conservatively I could bump it up to $1600-1800, with it being at $1400 would you say I should try to increase it to $1500 for next year and steadily increase it from there or make the bigger jump straight to $1600+ and risk losing the tenant?

just cold call expired , its hard work makes you feel annoying as hell and its more like gambling with your time but its straight to the money. and all the best agents are listing agents anyways . focus on taking listings

Without complete financials up to that point, extra work (and headache) will be required to get everything straight after years of failure to keep complete financials.There also might be an asset protection wrinkle by not maintaining complete books for an LLC, but I won't comment on that as I'm not an attorney.

My goals are fairly straight forward.
