The "purely code" stables, I wouldn't suggest.

I'm a contractor based in Maryland and DC, so the renovation aspect is well within my expertise, having done numerous projects for other developers and general contractors.However, I'm facing a challenge when it comes to choosing the interior design elements, such as bathroom tiles, colors, sizes, fixtures, etc.

The drop and Swap is about all we use here due to the confiscatory tax rates based on sale price.

They vary based on the note. 

Was hoping to get at least 115k based off what comps were.

Dont know where to start any suggestions will be great thank you For the 300k property they are probably not going to let you pull any money out based on the amount of credit you already owe.

Across the board, the worse the neighborhood, the better the cash flow, the better the neighborhood, the trade off for tenants base, better schools, low crime, etc etc.

My favorite calls are from prospective clients who have been with another company - they know what matters to them and I know a lot about how the relationship will go, based on what they've experienced with another PMC. 

I am unsure if I could purchase a property through an LLC/SL based in Spain and what would be the taxation using this system.

You don't want to lose your rate on the house you are living in now unless you want to sell it so since that is an owner-occupied, you need to stay there and save up the 20 percent for the second property based on what you said.
