My husband and I own, as an LLC,  a Beech Bonanza which we can use to explore other areas in SC for investment.

We have been approved at Home Federal for a real estate loan for this house but want to explore our options.

That would really help move things along for you because you could go up in price point.I think you should do both if you can get the financing - search for the duplex or triplex opportunity to move into, but at the same time explore the BRRRR strategy, as it is the best way to acquire rentals with limited money out of pocket with exception to creative financing. 

I will certainly explore putting something other than carpet in.The higher value definitely changes the possibilities with this property and my objective.

If you think either my wife or I can help, please send me a message and maybe we can explore your interests further.Regards,Gene

Which is going to leave you less than your $30k you're hoping to walk away with.It sounds like you're exploring this option already, however, I've had luck with a local bank that will lend up to 90% LTV on investment properties as a line of credit. they will even cross collateralize multiple investment properties.

Our plan is to do some buy and holds as well, so this may be the time to explore that.

Hi BP,I am very interested in exploring everything that Bigger Pockets and offer.  

Might want to explore: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/563-maryland-...Good luck!

I'm trying to explore other options and was hoping to get some feedback from the BP community.
