With the economy of scale in multifamily, each additional unit nets you a little more than the last, as a rule of thumb.

Purchasing the LLC gives you ownership of the property, but it also opens you up to additional legal exposure since the entity has been active, and there is no way to really know for sure what else they used the LLC for.

Additionally, their marketing was very compelling.

However what happens when the tenant vacates and now the unit has to be turned over/takes a few months to find a new tenant and during that same period of time the sewer line goes and you get hit with that $15,000 cap ex expense in addition to the vacancy and turn over costs.

If you have equity and decent credit, a conventional Fannie Mae HomeStyle (or the Freddie Mac version) would likely be the better option instead of an FHA 203k loan (which will require a 3rd party HUD consultant to oversee the deal in addition to having the contractor involved). 

Additionally, I created MEC (Material Estimator Calculator), a unique residential renovation software that automatically calculates a bill of materials (BOM) based on the property’s condition.Overall, I’m thrilled to escape the Seattle rain and connect with fellow investors here in Arizona.

All this in addition to 6 other lease violations... 

NEVER borrow from a 401K, you are taking pre-taxed dollars and paying it back with after tax dollars, you do not get to return the loan with pre taxed dollars, in addition, some 401K plans do charge interest and maybe even fees, and lastly if you get laid off for some reason, it is a distribution with all the "fun consequences: tax at the last dollar rate, and if you are under 59.5 there is also the additional 10% penalty.Personally I like the HELOC, however you can also sell stocks and do tax harvesting there to offset gains if that is an option

Feedback has not suggested property needs additional repairs/work, only that they are looking in a different area.

Most likely a "discount listing" Owner pays realtor a small amount upfront to add it to the MLS.
