I have another property from a family friend that is being sold  for 150k, and the estimated value is 340k. 21 acre road front property w 3/2 bath.

Since part of your home is a rental, you can deduct a portion of expenses like mortgage interest, property taxes, and utilities.

Personally, I invest in properties in C-Class neighborhoods in my market (East Linden and Southern Hilltop), and they’ve been cash-flowing well so far.

I have a great job that I love and currently do not need to spend the cash flow from the properties. 

Have your broker or banker pull and send you rent comps / market concessions / etc. from like kind / vintage / size properties in the immediate neighborhood surrounding your asset in Baton Rouge, and then make a value judgement on whether you have room to push.

Then I would do a low risk flip ( rehab less than a few weeks) for hopefully a 10-15% profit, repeat until I have a nice down payment and am sure that I would be able to qualify for a refinance, then buy a buy and hold then continue flipping until I get to the next buy and hold - in theory, the time between each property should decrease as I should be getting capital from the buy + hold as well as I would already have my reserves built up.

I have a property that I retitled into the name of an LLC.

I currently have a rental property and am looking at getting my real estate license and building a property management and property maintenance company to serve my investments and potentially others.  

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.

The land is on two tax lots so my plan is to sell the extra lot immediately after closing for a projected $275K.The property on the other lot will be a fix and flip with projected costs of $240K and an ARV of $750K.I plan to use a PML of 2 points and 12% APY for 70% of the total cost.
