Hey Ximei,I totally understand wanting to maximize the impact of your initial investment, and if you're open to taking on a bit more complexity, the BRRRR route can be a game changer.

You might still make some money...or you might loose just a little while you learn....but I think chances are unless you totally mess things up or every part of the deal goes wrong, you end up with most of your money back....AND you learn and develop some relationships.

Totally agree Jeff.. also on the Chat GT and those just making a post which is a Chat GT blog really..

Harsher outputs forcing stronger inputs and cuts in Q1/Q2.I could see a total of .5bps hit by EOY 2024, then a flush of a bad Q4 data/earnings come out and Jan we're forced to move .5-.75bps getting us to sub 4 and another cutin March forcing us under 3.5/3.75 and mortgage rates hovering 1.5-1.75 over.

Suppose you have $46,000 mortgage at 8% interest on restaurant, $22,900 SBA loan, $3,900 at 1.75% interest on a microloan, $23,00 on temporary 0% interest credit cards all for the same business totaling $95,000 in debt.

@Nathan Gesner said it best, IMHO- the need for an LLC is totally exaggerated on BP.
