To clarify, I'm not having trouble getting loans for my LLC, I just see posts and hear on the podcasts about people getting "up to 10" conventional mortgages for properties they buy as investments and don't live in.

So just to clarify- I can deduct the cash investment I put into this flip as COGS when I go to sell the property if it takes more than 1 year to flip? 

How did you add value to the deal?

Quote from @Devin James: Just as important: be a giver, not just a taker.

Purchase price: $271,000 this is the first property I bought, I put 0% down on this, it cashflows me about $350 a month. this property was a good investment, and I think I got lucky. my real estate agent found this for me as it wasn't being sold on market. truly a gem.

What type of property are looking to inspect (residential, commercial, distressed, etc.) and what is the intended use of the property?

Place good residents, make sure the block is nice (just not the street) and you should be fine.
