I've exhausted all other PM options and this is the only one that seems promising (aside from this clause).

Now if you can buy from the beginning with your LLC that would be better but I would suggest exhausting your conventional loan spots first.

Feels like a lower cost to entry (not withstanding HOA fees) and a more manageable first project in terms of renovation costs. 

Doing it myself saved money but was physically and mentally exhausting.

I have exhausted all options that I can think of.

That would save a lot of exhaustion and heartache.

@Genny LiThank you very much Genny, I did not know it was called awning, I guess my next step would be to research awnings that can withstand snow load for extended hours.

I am now up 4am every morning and make sure I use that time for things I need to get done before work distracts me and I come home exhausted. 

Will you be able to close on a property that is cash positive and can you withstand any storm to come?

So that if the market were to collapse and you've taken out a loan on your house, then you're going to be able to withstand the market as you go through it because you're living in the home that you have borrowed money out on.
