They still own the house though.

I started real estate investing by house hacking and then getting into rentals from there.

@Jason Sinclair, having a designer for a wife, I would answer that it really depends heavily on each house, the flow and usability of the spaces as they are, and the overall use of space in the house as a whole.That being said, while there may be a small shift towards more separated spaces, "open concept" is by no means dead, and in many markets, most people seem to still want to have connectivity between their communal spaces.In fact, my wife's current flip is a split level (although technically it is a split-foyer), and she is taking out a structural wall to connect the kitchen, dining and living areas.  

.- Cant do blanket loan as I own one of the houses in one llc and the other in another llc.Thank you for your help and I hope someone will have good options!

-save $1k+ in taxes and fees yearly-can use the savings to get more insurance and a higher liability than the value of house. for flipping houses in California does anyone just put into sole proprietor own name and just use the $1k+ in savings for LLC costs into Insurance or use for savingor am I just being too risky. 

Memphis is definitely a solid market known for steady growth and affordable housing.

The contract was a simple 3 page one and I wrote this in.Also, it is a single family being rented as a rooming house (which is technically not legal here).

How the house photographs gets more eyes on it.

I started off with 3 houses on a lot and another house two lots down.

@Derick Jennings Without knowing more about your situation, I'd likely recommend a house hack, a strategy I wish I would have known about when I got started.
