If you decide to sell and find an investment property with a greater cash flow potential.A 1031 exchange would allow you to indefinitely all of the tax and use it to your advantage to reinvest into larger nicer property/properties.

Are you self managing those properties?

One big one is that scaling the lease option sale to a homeowner will attract both public regulatory scrutiny and private litigation, perhaps class action, once it reaches a certain threshold.  

@Lauren Ruppert Yes, an LLC can sell a property to your child’s LLC, ideally at fair market value (FMV) to avoid gift tax complications.

I live in California (Central Coast) and have built a 12-door portfolio in Detroit, which has been a great market for both cash flow and long-term potential.Detroit still offers properties well below the $150k mark, with strong rent-to-price ratios and a market that’s seeing growth in key areas.

With fluctuating interest rates, tighter lending criteria, and increased competition for properties, securing the right financing has become a key factor in closing deals and maximizing ROI.Are you exploring creative options like BRRRR, partnerships, or seller financing?

Raising your credit score will get you far better rates personally as well as with private lenders for your LLC. 

Is this property in TN?

Plenty exist for private lenders (which is what seller financing is) and can track payments and am tables and also do automatic electronic withdrawal (ACH debit) which helps improve the likelihood of getting paid promptly each month.

pretty small hurdle to have a good win as a private lender just get paid as agreed.now equity participation loans those can spin the needle pretty well ..
