@William BohanVariety:  BDC's, MLP's, various closed end funds holding credit/debt instruments and/or MLP's. 

I just read an article recently that noted "Avg Profits For Flipped Homes" of $80,000, however when you dig into the article and their sources, "Profit" is simply Sale Price - Purchase Price...so it doesn't consider renovation costs, holding costs, financing costs, etc.

So I would rephrase the question as: what are the pros and cons of Kansas City for buy and hold small multifamily when my goal is cash flow or what are the pros and cons of Kansas City if my goal is fix and flip SFH with large margins on each project.

Make sure to maintain a cash reserve (3-6 months of expenses) to handle unexpected repairs or vacancies.It’s smart to consider the “what-ifs,” but don’t let them hold you back.

Please come down and see me and let talk about real estate.My plan now is looking for buy and hold and flips.If your 100% motivated for REI just like i am, come down and meet me.

What are some reasons wholesalers either hold and flip vs. assigning out?

He said that you can still sell the home, and this would not hold you back in doing so. 

We have an LLC that holds real estate but have run into issues refinancing through the LLC when family is renting or ultimately living in the property so I’m also not sure if this should go through the LLC or be a personal purchase?

On the positive, holding costs to get you to february should be minimal.  

In Columbus Ohio, there's so many great opportunities here for buy and holds, BRRRRs, flips, and STR/MTRs.
