@Hank Bank BRRRR is probably want you want to do.Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refi, Repeat.Before you go all in and either find out you don't like being a landlord or you make costly mistakes, start with just the next one.You'll have some challenges with tapping the equity in the townhouse:1) What loan amount can you qualify with your credit & income?

There are many companies that perform a good work. 

Its a tiny loan for any institution.You'll have to get hard bids from a local GC, but maybe $110/ft?

Financing might be a challenge.I would recommend consulting with a attorney, loan officer, and CPA to discuss your specific situation and determine the best course of action. 

Loan interest is deductible based on the use of the loan, not the asset securing the loan. 

If you close with a conventional loan, it will need to be in your personal name.

Hey Patrick, This would be a DSCR loan.

Under "Start a Business", choose "Limited Liability Company" and follow the directions.

I’ve been considering working for as a acquisition manager for a  wholesaling company, as I believe it would help me develop skills in property analysis and enhance my sales abilities.

I almost exclusively sell bank foreclosures for a large asset management company, and I also do a lot of marketing for wholesale deals.
