I purchased a home in my primary name as a house hack 2 1/2 years ago and now am moving into another property and using this home as a rental. I would like to quit claim deed this property into a recently formed LLC f...

I am more interested in safer investments even if it means less cash flow.I am interested in areas with no lead paint so I am thinking either Akron or Lorraine?

Not knocking Michael Blanks whatsoever bc that dude has it going on too.. but Tims operations and the way he structures every single deal he does seems a much safer, predictable route than majority of syndicators.

Have you looking into the Navarre Beach or Panama City Beach Market: 1 Location: Located on the Gulf of Mexico, offering beautiful beaches and crystal clear water. 2 Lifestyle: Navarre Beach is known for its laid-back, beachy lifestyle, making it a popular destination for vacationers and retirees. 3 Investment potential: Property in Navarre Beach can be a good investment since there is tons of new construction occuring on the beach and inland. 4 Community: Navarre Beach has a strong sense of community, school systems with many local events and activities throughout the year. 5 Natural beauty: Navarre Beach offers a variety of natural beauty, from the beaches to the state parks and nature preserves. 6 Quieter: Navarre beach is a quieter alternative to the busier beaches of Pensacola and Destin, but still close enough to enjoy the activities and amenities of those areas. 7 Military friendly: Navarre beach is home to Hurlburt Field Air Force Base, making it a popular destination for military families and veterans. 8 Affordable: Navarre beach offer a more affordable option compared to other coastal towns in Florida, making it accessible for first time buyers or retirees.Rentals, appreciation and gentrification is happening in these areas with new price point emerging due to infrastructure being built out. 

Exploring alternative funding options is a wise approach given your situation.You mentioned your last resort could be borrowing from your 401k or Roth IRA.

The alternative is a slippery slope.

I have been working diligently to get an alternate ingress-egress, but the county wants me to repair a substandard rd that will cost over a million dollars.

I would also agree that Pueblo West should be a slightly safer bet than Pueblo.My wife and I buy a primary residence every year and then rent out the previous home instead of selling when we move. 

We have found a property manager but will keep RL in mind should we need an alternative. 

Or an alternate strategy if your goal is to have a vacation rental paid for is to buy some sort of investment, STR, buy and hold, stocks, bonds whatever and just dedicate the cashflow from that to renting a place each year.
