With $750K, start by focusing on cash-flowing rental properties in stable markets like Indianapolis, Kansas City, or Birmingham, blending appreciation and income.Use financing strategically to scale while preserving liquidity for value-add opportunities like BRRRR or small multifamily properties.Allocate a portion of funds for flips or mobile home parks to diversify and boost capital.

Here’s the approach I’d take, blending strategy and action: 1.

Id go right into looking at local credit unions and small community banks for HELOCs (lines of credit) so you can have a lower blended rate and draw/payback as you please.For the 3F - Since this is free and clear, you would only be looking at 1st position options here in the world of financing.

Again, depends on how you're planning to use the property (exclusively investment, blended occupancy/rental, or full-time occupancy) - if investment only an LLC would be the move. 

This unique blend of economic opportunity and lifestyle appeal positions these cities as prime locations for both investment and personal residence.You mentioned Roan Mountain and Watauga Lake.. both are fantastic draws.

I want it to be as easy/valuable to sell at the end as possible, or as seamless to transition to an operator as possible at the end of the 2 or 3 additional years of building the portfolio. 

Since you currently operate without an LLC and report rental income on Schedule E, the vehicle purchase might not seamlessly integrate into your existing tax structure.To leverage Section 179 deductions effectively, you may need to consider restructuring your rental property management operations.

This deal was financed using Partner Driven’s capital resources, allowing for a seamless and efficient transaction.

Our seamless financing approach ensured a swift transaction, facilitating a same-day resale and maximizing profit potential.

Which brings me back to the "F.I.R.E" thing maybe you should look into that and changing your lifestyle and doing a blend of a lesser/easier job, less expenses, some real estate investments, and some stock investments.
