If you have any tips for me as well that would be much appreciated (just bought my first STR this fall and the quad in the spring will be my first LTR). 

Looking to invest, I was thinking of flipping, as well airbnbs, etc.... many RE options -cant decide which one is right for me....obviously $ is consideration too,...

Personally, I wouldn't do any flip for less than $30k net of sale because STCG tax for me would end up leaving me with about $20k or so of actual profit.

So, I'm challenged right now finding a property that will cash flow well enough for me to pull the trigger.

For me, start with either the property who's lease expiry is furthest out in the future OR property that has seems like it will be easiest to manage.3) From what I have heard, rent has really moved upward in GVSC - I'd call a couple RE Agents or property managers that have rental listings in the area and tell them your situation / ask them to send you closed rental comps.

I've found myself more focused, and have come to the realization that while, the vast world of REI and improvement podcasts is a great way to find out what is possible, it does not work well for me to help drill down and take action, especially when this is an industry that literally everything could work.I'm excited to take this new "era" to BP con and use that as another launching point going into the Q4 and Q1, and ensuring I'm saying NO more than I'm saying yes.  

Also, it is kind of hard for me to believe that it is not helpful at all to have the property in an LLC that only has that one asset in it and is not highly profitable.

Not trying to rain on your parade, but this is much more complicated than just forming an entity and getting a loan.

Quote from @Richard Schubert: I have offered sellers the chance to sell to me with owner financing many times and can say it’s pretty unsuccessful for me so far.

I think there are other good lists out there as well but this one worked well for me.
