Only thing I'd plan to keep would be the larger multi-family - sell the small stuff, all of it and get yourself in a better capital position. 

I'd like to join.

I'd go with a broker.

I'd be seeking someone to fund the down payment of the deal and I would be responsible for property management/bringing in funds for initial renovations for a profit/split.

I couldn't imagine spending 411k on a SFH at this point unless I was living in it. 

I imagine for people who have had accounts there for a little while would be approved quickly.Also on the cashout refi definitely hit up Community Bank.

I imagine people who've had 2nd or 3rd houses in hollywood hills are not interested in rebuilding or doing the work. 

If you’re open to chatting, sharing advice, or just networking, I’d love to connect!

•Be mindful of regulations, HOA rules, seasonal fluctuations, and post-sale tax increases before committing.If you haven’t already, I’d suggest running numbers through AirDNA, Mashvisor, or Rabbu to get an accurate rental projection before making a final decision.Hope this helps, and best of luck with your investment!

If it was me, I'd go ahead and create an LLC w/ a bank account and all that.
