These regions offer affordable prices for most investors, with homes that are turnkey—either newly constructed or fully renovated, tenant-ready, and with systems that still have 10+ years of life remaining.

It worked to motivate the tenant to get caught up. 

A) pay 1/2 the remaining rent. 

While I do maintain a relatively modest percentage of my assets in money market instruments, corporate debt funds, and high dividend stocks, I remain most comfortable with the investments I specialize in and know best.  

Depreciation schedules remain unchanged unless the LLC is taxed as a partnership or corporation.

My motivation is to increase my financial literacy and diversify into real estate.I have rented all my life and seek to become a homeowner/ investor to help my family and make their lives easier.

The seller must've been very motivated to retire...are you buying any residential properties now or does this project pretty much consume all of your attention these days?

That means 500 calls a day finding motivated discount sellers.Probably other positions too, but that's a start.Are you getting any good finds on the house hack? 

One has no mortgage, their other has a HELOC for around $20k remaining and is coming to its 10year term that was established before placing with LLC.My predicament is how/best way to pull equity out of either property for a down payment for the 3 family that is valued around $450k.

IE motivate them for money.
