Sounds like you have a lot to contribute here!

If I am in your shoes I would buy 2-4 units, get a conventional loan, ask the sellers to pay for the max contribution (3%) towards closing costs.

I definitely prefer to be an asset and not the kind of small business person that doesn't enrich or contribute. 

Any transfers should be made through the owner of the LLC and not another LLCSo you make a capital contribution or capital withdrawal.

Thank you in advance for your advice and connections – looking forward to contributing to the community as well!

Keep tracking equity contributions, as this will be crucial when transitioning property B into a rental or selling your share.

In 2017 I had zero debt, a good job and was leveraging my 401k… I have traded that philosophy to acquire large amounts of debt, no 401k or IRA contributions and now have the freedom to control my own financial destiny.Below are the steps I took to remove myself from my W-2 (and 30 years of working for someone else) and obtain a career as a real estate investor:Step 1 (Education): Read and listen to as many books and podcasts as possible.

@Jessica HowellIn the operating agreement we typically put like $1,000 as initial contribution.

Therefore, I have a hard time committing to a house hack which contributes greatly to my problem of raising capital for a conventional mortgage with a 20%+ down payment instead of alternatives such as an FHA.
