the other one I just had a small 1031 did a tic with one of my long time partners who owned 100 units almost next door ( I brokered him those) so he could have his existing PM take over and we set it up on a 6 year payoff NO cash flow neither of us need cash flow we just want free and clear..

I still have one house with some existing K&T.

I am definitely looking to connect with existing and new leads in Akron and Cleveland 

Here are five dangerous provisions to watch for in an Operating Agreement:Dangerous Provisions to Watch:Authority to incur debt without investor approvalPower to make loans to other entities/projectsAbility to cross-collateralize with other propertiesPermission to use investor capital for other venturesCommingling of funds across different projectsWhy These Are Potential Ponzi Indicators:• New investor funds could be used to pay existing investors• Project-to-project lending can mask poor performance• Cross-collateralization puts your investment at risk for others' failures• Commingling enables masking of financial problems• Lack of project segregation enables fraudulent schemesProtective Measures to Look For:Strict single-purpose entity requirementsProject-specific bank accountsDebt limitations and investor approval requirementsProhibited related-party lendingClear fund segregation requirementsProfessional Best Practice:Request bank statements showing separate accounts for each project.

I would buy a deal that at least minimally cashflows (they exist) and then plan to refi in the 18-36 month window.

You are considering putting a tiny home on your existing property as an ADU or using that money to save up and buy the next investment property and wondering which would be the wiser choice.I think ADUs can help provide additional, much needed, housing.

For example, you could refurbish or reupholster the existing sofa-bed to improve comfort (perhaps by changing the inner cushioning) rather than a full replacement.

Sometimes, buying an existing property can be more cost-effective and less time-consuming and maybe require slightly less permits, etc. 

Would a cash-out refinance to free up equity and keep growing be a smart move, or should I focus on paying down my existing debts?

One challenge was getting the hotel occupancy up after renovation since no one had booked or stayed in years so there was no existing guest base.
