(The Black Friday sale on the Bigger Pockets bookstore was where I did my own Christmas shopping so my family knew what to ‘buy’ for me!).

I still want to have a “regular” career for now, but know I have what it takes to successfully run a business- say in the form of real estate investing.

I currently own a 4-unit in Allentown which has done quite well for me and looking to expand my portfolio throughout LVH.

Looking for some input...I'm working on educating myself more when it comes to various tax benefits and trying to decide what would be the best route for me moving forward.

A FHA 203k Loan is where the purchase price and rehab costs are rolled into a single loan.The downside of using FHA or a FHA 203k is you will need to live there, for a minimum of one year (to satisfy FHA Requirements); AND because you closed personally, you will not have Asset Protection, in the form of closing in the name of a LLC.

Everything worked out okay but we received advice from our CPA after forming our LLC that we should have structured things differently but by the time we met with him it was already done. 

Hey Andrew, i found the heloc process to be very simple, my local lender did 95% of the work for me!

Retain proof of that notice and make sure you include the new tenants right forms required by the city now.

I would also reach out to real-estate friendly lawyers to help you draft the necessary documents to form an LLC and to talk through the pros/cons for various decision.Also, I'm curious why you decided to invest in BHAM.

I will start by saying that I believe we are talking about slightly different forms of co-living.
