When the time came to sell, I anticipated a solid profit from the deal.

*Self-manage your property for at least one year to maximize profits and ensure quality guest experiences.Hopefully, this helps in some way.

I'm not satisfied with not filing the rental in an LLC simply because it's more simple and might cost me an additional filing fee .

I knew these units needed a renovation and I am excited to get them rehabbed and get more juice to squeeze from them.The one I am currently doing will profit me another 200-225/m moreThe one that is vacant the 31st of this month will profit 400-450/m more which is no small amount. 

If your investment is still profitable with the increase, then press ahead.

2 or 3 bedroom properties would be more profitable considering their cost?

Simply put, your sphere of influence are circles of people that you already know.

I have found 1st lien mortgages to be very profitable.

$20k/month in profit? 

I would provide the capital and otherwise stay passive, but hopefully grab better profits than private lending?
