June 23 I put in a contract to my fix and flip lender, they didnt do rentals, so they sent me to constructive loans, my loan originator quit in August, that took us a couple of weeks to find out smh, btw the old originator said we close in a week.

For a rental, you need to put 20% down.If the banks will lend you $1.4M, then you could buy a place this year, wait at least a year and then buy another one for you to move into and repeat, but the banks will ask why you are moving. 

I do plan to put it in a LLC eventually at some point after I move out so I was just thinking if I should just make it separate from the get go?

Most of the time, you put down 25-35% of the total cost basis of the project. 

At this point, I would recommend having a line of credit to cover these things so you don't have money sitting in the bank doing nothing when it could be put to work.I have 33 units, no debt except for mortgages, and excellent income.

But it's tougher for STRs now, so anyone wanting their piece of the pie needs to bring their A game. so a few things. 4 of your 5 hero pictures are of your kitchen, you might want to mix it up there. you have some patio furniture, but that's it for your backyard. put in something for people to envision with that backyard?

You have to put yourself in their shoes and try as much as possible to use logic, refer to the lease, but also be understanding where it makes sense. 

The other rentals I have, I don’t need to pay off because other investments can currently generate the same amount of cashflow.Scenario 3: Leave as is, put money in other investments, and buy more property when deals come along.
