I have spoken to NW, but I am unsure I agree with their ARVs and Comps yet still exploring that option.

I work closely with many buy and hold investors and would be happy to share insights or explore ways we can collaborate. 

Gradually scale by researching high-growth markets, partnering with experienced investors, and exploring financing options like SBA loans.

Starting with remote investing, like in Charlotte, can be an option, but it might be worth exploring local opportunities in Orange County too.

It’s worth reaching out to your local tax office to explore options.

I also have few loans with flagstar and would like to explore changing from personal name to LLC.

My main goals with these initial projects are:1.Gaining valuable insights into the local market.2.Getting hands-on experience with out-of-state investing, particularly when it comes to remodels and managing from afar.3.Testing the entire BRRRR process to see if it’s the right strategy for me long-term.If all goes well, I’d love to scale up and explore multi-family projects.

Together, the property nets us roughly $1,400/month after expenses.Equity Split: My partner owns 60%, and I own 40%.I'm exploring ways to take out my equity without disrupting this deal, as I feel this isn't the best financial decision for me right now.

This would buy time to improve cash flow or explore better refinancing options.Ask Your Lender: Would they consider lowering the rate temporarily or extending the loan period while you stabilize cash flow?

Flipping and rental properties are great areas to explore.
