BRRRR out of your flips is great way to keep some of your properties! 

I've used them for setting up real estate Trusts, but that's about it.

We want to grow our real estate business to be able to quit our jobs.

Pick one that is improving, homes being renovated and flipped, vacant storefronts being turned into cool coffee shops etc.Good luck.

There’s no real reason to jump into another market unless your goals shift and your current market doesn’t fit anymore—or if the market itself stops producing the results you need.Mastering one market and squeezing every opportunity out of it is a much better play than spreading yourself too thin and getting half-baked results in multiple places.

Do you plan to go to real estate networking events?

But have always invested in real estate. 

Gifting equity in a house may be more trouble than it is worth if you are not near the life-time exclusion1) Potentially having to get the property appraised everytime an equity is gifted2) Having a title company update the title every time3) Exemption of the gift tax return is normally for cash gifts below the annual gift tax exclusion, you may still need to file if you gift non-cash4) If there is partial ownership over several years, having to properly pro-rate certain items such as real estate taxes, mortgage interest and rental income if the property is a rentalBest of luck 

Swimming pool filled with wooden marbles, and here I come and I throw 3 steel marbles inside the pool and mix it up real good.Then I will tell you this: "Your mission is to find me the 3 steel balls".Now this is what you all are doing.You plant your butt next to the pool with your legs in the wooden marbles, you pick one bacll, inspect it, is it a steel ball?

Consider a HELOC for value-added BRRRRs or flips if you have a low interest rate.
