Here’s some context: Property 1: >$100k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $220k @ 2.88% (30-year fixed)Property 2: >$70k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $252k @ 3.38% (30-year fixed)Extra considerations: - I have $15-20k liquid to use for any of these deals- My current job is relatively stable, but not high-payin- Current properties in TX, living in NY, looking to invest in Mid-West (crazy, I know)- No other debt obligations besides the two mortgagesUltimate goal/timeline: Though a bit ambitious, I’d love to build up the portfolio to 10-20 units in the next two yearsI understand that any/all replies aren't financial advice; all ideas welcome for information purposes. 

Yes, it's not a bad idea to keep things in separate LLCs, especially when you own them outright.

If you are ever near Matthews and would like to stop by our office to ask some questions I'd be happy to help :)

Any recommendations for other “low time commitment/ high ROI” marketing ideas? 

The idea would involve working together to construct a road that provides access to my property.From there, I’m considering developing a 16-unit multifamily project on my land.

There's anywhere from $1.5 to $2,000,000 in equity, but the issue is it's owned by her 85 year old grandmother and they have no idea what to do with the property.

The idea would be to continue to scale in the same market with an established 'core four' team. 

But when that product is lacking or unsustainable, the focus shifts.First, the idea is sold.

Don't let them choose for you.Just inspect what you expect....Also I would talk to housing office in Memphis to get a feel of how many people are on the Section 8 waitlist, what kind of rents they pay, what zip codes are they targeting, see if they have any stats about how long tenants stay and average rent.While a lot of people try to look at google street view to get an idea of the neighborhood, there is no substitute for visiting in person.

Im working on getting another appraiser over there in hopes i can get mid to high 6's Maybe try a BPO - this will be cheaper but not as detailed and should give you a general idea of the market - its much more expensive and time consuming to get an appraiser if your going to do multiple of them.
