The properties are owned by our LLC.Assuming nothing changes from the current tax perspective, what is the "smartest" tax-efficient method of getting this equity out of our investments:1) Cash out refi $1.6m (80% LTV of all the assets) and invest that money in a more liquid (albeit lower return) investment vehicle?

If you have cash then i would advise you to invest using the BRRR method. 

You can get a premium sale price with above market rents if you structure properly.Happy InvestingDerek Dombeck

I currently do the majority of the advertising, but that will change once I figure out the best methods.

But in general, I am wondering the best method to contact this landlord/property owner so as to get their attention and really help them see that my purchasing this property from them would be taking a headache off their hands.

I've seen some wholesalers say that they are consistently getting deals on the MLS- their method involves making LOTS of lowball offers.

I've found a few BRRR candidates but realitors I've spoken to so far while nice and helpful don't seem very knowledgable for this method I want to do single family homes using the BRRR method.

@Jay Hinrichs Thanks for the tip...What methods would you suggest would help me with those skills before actually doing it in real time?

How do you structure the companies?

This is my first post in the forum as I recently became a BP member :)My husband and I just got a Duplex under contract that requires significant repairs (no structural/foundation work) as it is quite old and has extensive wear and tear.
