Or you could try for a twofer - Sell FL and 1031 into a property in CA so you consolidate your portfolio. 

I'm also hearing lots of different opinions on cash-flow vs net worth (i.e. buy cash flowing properties VS buy for appreciation & then consolidate to a MFH later, etc). 

This is really the only option we have at the moment, we have a large HELOC out that we used to consolidate student loans and we do not have extra cash for a 20% down payment.

State bond may help consolidate the school loans in a smaller payment then do the loan for the property.

I would not start anything until that 100k of debt is reduced greatly.If your debt is high interest, maybe look at a debt consolidation plan.Need to brainstorm what jobs you would be comfortable with and work at getting started on those.

Which I guess in 10 years wont be that big of a difference...As I stated above, I'm leaning towards option 1 because it will consolidate all of my personal finances and allow for much more cash flow initially.

So my primary house has about 60k in equity that I wish to possibly use as a DP for a multi family Home.I would need to find a property that cash flows with a mortgage and the heloc payment.1) what options (other than paying down the HELOC) do I have to eventually consolidate the HELOC balance into a single loan? 

My income and credit reports were fine and I qualify for the amount I'm seeking but...I'm the majority shareholder and managing member of an LLC which consolidates some past businesses which failed and the LLC holds the loans that were not repaid, (including a loan to me).

I've recently contacted National Debt relief, and I was told I can consolidate all my debt to a reasonable monthly payment that I'm already making with all 3 combined, and my debt is erased in 44 months.

I figured I would go ahead and share because this website details your state laws as a landlord in a clean consolidated format.
