I own two vacation property rentals outright. The one I have had since 2012 is titled in my LLC and the other I just purchased in July with cash value from my life insurance policy and titled in my name. I wish to p...

I will admit it – I was hungry- I wanted more but I didn’t have the skills or experience to do it on my own, I didn’t want another job - I was sacred –  I was sold on all the propaganda about real estate riches and continued to search for that magic formula.That was over 40 years ago - as I think back about all those programs - I realized that my intuition, creativity, imagination or the pure synergism of all that information enable me to create hybrid formulas of my own – formulas that helped me avoid conventional financing, credit approvals, cash down payments, real estate agents, gate keeps and those others who wanted to delay my progress of making money in real estate.

To enable a sort of "disruption" of a field, it is necessary to let go of any established rules of the field and view it as a completely new and naked playing field.

Does anyone have any experience with data extraction and interpretation?  

Hey @Kadijah Hammond, I agree with Nimral.In my experience, to do flipping well, you should have a great relationship with a hard money lender / investor, or start out with cash.Wholesaling enables you to get your feet wet, with minimal liabilities, all while understanding the process.

So it only makes sense to move those funds into self-directed account which will enable you to have virtually limitless investment choices.You say that by "using 50% leverage in self-directed 401k diminishes returns"...

Remember that every 10k increase in NOI, you're getting an extra $125k in property value (using 8% CAP rate) which can be extracted through a later loan.Have you run the numbers without the inhouse manager?  

Patrick Anibaldi , depending on how much equity you have in your 1st home, you can do a cash out refi or HELOC and consider private lending as well.This will enable you to invest in local real estate with decent returns and not have to worry about managing the property or pay someone else to, which can cut into the profits.

I also seek to add value to investors by enabling them to find and invest in great cash flow properties, while maximizing their time, as well as their profitable revenue.By joining BiggerPockets, my goal is to establish a network of professionals who can aid in my growth within the real estate realm, while also finding ways that I am able to add value to those within BiggerPockets' network who may have a need for any opportunity that I may have available. 

That will enable you to get started faster on your life's goals.
