A puzzle isn't just one big picture, but rather many little pieces working together to complete the bigger picture.

Those are the three critical puzzle pieces that you need to put together if you're going to maximize your sales price by selling it to someone purchasing using mostly fannie mae's money and not all cash or hard money.

Wrong. there is one more major piece to this puzzle. 

Definitely a lot of fun trying to solve the puzzle!  

@Dylan Eggers so it puzzles me a bit when I see people with money in savings and then a stack of consumer debt (auto loans and CC balances).

something is rather uncertain,, review contract with realtor.. why did you accept a realtor. this is rather a huge commission,, you can list on MLS for rent and yet put no agents fee's paid.. and WHY your friend encouraged you to do this is PUZZLING..  

You might also want to form more than one entity to handle different pieces of the puzzle: maybe one entity for your flips and one or more entities for your rental properties.

What piece of the puzzle am I missing?

You have the puzzle now you just need to fit the pieces in the good circle... keep us posted. 

I'm not looking for advice necessarily, more so looking for contacts so I can find someone that fits this piece of my puzzle.
