If you're wanting to use leverage to buy more properties, then once your credit is around 680+, one strategy would be to cashout refi your current property at around 50% LTV.

That could help manage tax liabilities while keeping the property in the family.

@Autumn DeVaughnSince you already have experience as a real estate agent and property manager, you're in a great position to start investing.

For example using and LLC to take revenues from properties Etc.

This would be a joint venture with me offering to just provide a percentage of profits and equity in the property in return.  

Is it advisable to have an account for each property?

If I were in your shoes, I’d focus on house hacking in Phoenix by exploring multi-family properties or using the BRRRR strategy with undervalued single-family homes.

Most banks won't want to come in with a line of credit that is second lien on the property.

Whether it’s helping a seller get their property in better shape for showings, structuring a deal that works for both parties, or connecting the right people, there’s always a way to add value.

The property had foundation work done just prior to the sale but continued having problems, even after I hired a second contractor to correct.
