I'm in Tampa and, in addition to financing homes, we've built our share of ground-up spec homes here in the Bay Area.

It takes 5-15 minutes on any state site to set up on your own, without an operating agreement and articles which you will only need later.If you are setting up a single-member (just you), you don't need help and setting it up now for rental properties only makes sense if you have cash.

With nursing, I would establish a connection with both the hospital, placement services along with posting it on traveling nurses sites. 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I’m an OOS investor and I’m sending my realtor over to inspect these properties to see if either one would be a solid addition to my portfolio.

The site I was getting my information from was "Roney's Foreclosure Listings." 

Additionally, I have an LLC established and currently hold a business credit card with a limit of $15,000, as well as two personal cards for $4,000 and 3500.I have before and after pictures of my fix and flip, if needed.Any advice or insights on potential funding sources or strategies would be greatly appreciated!

But some advice already said.1) Learn how to reduce your expenses2) Pay every month like you would be a tenant 3) Find other ways to make additional money - does it have a guarge, maybe rent that out for extra cash flow? 

Additionally, they may have good cause eviction protection depending on where in upstate NY. 

Additionally, I disagree.
