Of course if you are required to pay off the 2% mortgage then your cash on cash ROI goes way down, but with a 30% equity cushion you’re still way ahead.I really dislike contractor for deed, lease option, or not recording warranty deed as “solutions” for the due on sale clause.  

At some point, if your business takes off, the single member LLC gives you optionality to move to an S Corp (which typically means less self employment taxes). 

As for property management software, options like Hostaway or Lodgify can streamline bookings and communication.

There are a lot of options out there, but the rates are excruciating right now for new flippers.

I've seen some options recently for credit reporting for your tenants rent payments.

What followed after that was an offer from them to start making weekly payments until my entire Inner Circle membership fee was refunded over 10 weeks, followed by sending me a new e-sign settlement doc with those stipulations in place of the original - even after I refused the "payment plan" option via email earlier today (as you can imagine, given the experience thus far, the last thing I'm interested in chasing my money/answers even further/longer).

More interested in land contracts and lease purchase options enough /without needing a lawyer each time.The properties are worth about 150k each.

Franky,Feel free to send me an email I can help with evaluating some options.   

So, after exploring several options, we just have to hold until our home is completed and then we can look at purchasing rental property. 

I would still work with a title company on this and let your lender know (if you have one) of the name change and what you are doing so they do not think you are selling the property.Another option would be to create a living trust for estate purposes and transfer it into the estate.
