I'm 53, married with 2 kids less than 17 years old with debt only from purchases on credit cards and my home.

MD is bad compared to Ohio where piercing the corporate veil is a myth - applicable only where the owner (even 100%) has committed a crime or fraud.

There are serious consequences if things go badly.

The bad ones will want 50% upfront, you'll have to plead for update pics, they'll find reasons to increase their initial bids (multiple times) and will want final payment before meeting you for final walk-thru.Many investor-friendly agents have NEVER owned a rental, so you can't really rely on their advice.

Cash flow’s great, but small margins on SFHs mean one bad tenant or repair can eat into profits.Option 2: Multifamily (20+ Unit Building)Jumping straight to multifamily is bold, and I love the ambition!

(May also cut significantly into the current cash flow on it)I know you mentioned not doing a HELOC on my primary, but wouldn't it be advantageous to have the ability to pay off the line of credit instead of be stuck in a payment that is much higher? 

Additionally, a CPA can maximize child tax credits, rental property depreciation, and ensure compliance with reporting requirements for their 1099 income.

I own the property free and clear and i use the equity as part of my business line of credit.

Too many people + not enough bathrooms = bad reviews.

Is there a way I can "co-sign" with one of my parent's credit cards and be on their credit history in order to boost my credit score?
