I'm looking for ways to use my $200k efficiently and invest it somehow or even try to convince the seller..I’ve considered lines of credit, personal loans, and options like SoFi, but I’m not sure which will work best in this scenario.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.PM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

Personally, I like this and have had some good counsel on using two LLCs--one for holding and another for renovations. 

I would like to do the state filing myself, because its easy and cheap.

To better cash flow the property, you can look at different income strategies like medium term rentals or short term rentals.

Would like to hear what are some key things to be aware of in this area when selling/buying properties? 

Seemed like they had the process down.  

Like windows open, lights on, door left open, that sort of thing.

Just like any flip story, my first flip expenses almost doubled (different story for another day 😊), so we are being cautious with any additional expenses.

I like Stessa but it wasn't able to do the other accounting that I needed.
