Unfortunately, in May 2021, my dog was attacked by my tenant's dogs at property 2, and my 1st property happened to be vacant at the time, so I was able to fully rent out property 2, move back to property 1 and cash-out refinance property 1 at 80% LTV as my primary residence.

Your best plan of attack right now would be either to 1) House hack a 2-4 unit with your VA or FHA loan to build momentum or 2) Purchase a 1-4 unit investment property with 10% down on a portfolio loan there in Arizona.

However, as we were leaving our agent noticed the meter box was slightly open so he checked it and besides the wasp attack all copper was stripped from box.

Who pays what, who carries insurance, what if he has a heart attack on site, lien releases???

I say all that to say it’s possible at your numbers you may just have to get more creative when looking for a deal and figure out what your plan of attack will be and work it.

So I’m taking the rest of this year and most of next year to get all my ducks in a row then attack

@Rey S.While using a property management will limit some of your exposure for inside liability purpose, you will surely be named as a party of any lawsuit anyway.But using a property manager does not limit in any way the risk of losing your property in any outside liability attack (if you are sued for any of your actions that are unrelated to your property).So yes an LLC will help in that case to limit your risk.

Your first mistake is posting a possible deal on here and asking for feedback and then attacking those that give you feedback.

One thing I did not anticipate was his heart attack. 

The dog (boxer) attacked the neighbors 4lb dog and it had to be put to sleep.
