I noticed most of the posts are 3 years old.  

I have over 50k for renovations if need be and I have private funding for the purchase.

@Marc Shin You need to provide the location of the property.Mechanics liens laws are state-specific with respect to contract and notice requirements, license status, dollar amount thresholds, and especially TIMING.

I always get a notice to pay for the "Proactive Rental Enforcement Program" https://www.santa-ana.org/prep-program/. 

More long term rentals are also very attractive to students, I noticed that less people seem to be staying in apartments and are instead looking to move into houses around campus.   

From my perspective on the private lending side (bridge loans, 30-year DSCR, etc.)

That said, $8k is a big nut so I'm really not quite sure if I will go with a private consultant on an hourly basis or go with them or some other form of coaching.  

Because I agree I want to keep annual costs down.If a WY LLC buys a property all cash there is no public record with your name on it, the manager/member remain private. 

I recently completed a major renovation on my property financed through a Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation loan, and I'm now looking into options for removing Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).

Have you looked into becoming a private money lender to put your money to work while you wait for your next purchase?
