I looked at a few multi-family properties to buy and live in but haven't pulled the trigger. 

If you vet your buyers correctly, you would then market for homes that fit the buyers criteria so that you know they are ready to pull the trigger on those exact home(s) and price they were looking for. 

I personally only pull comps within the last few months and within .25 miles of the property I'm analyzing.

Am I correct in assuming that if I get a pre-approval letter from a lender, it's only good for about three months, after which point I will have to get a new one with additional credit hard pulls?

We have a private money guy in Florida that wants to pull in some of his friends for our Florida flips.

We are trying to pull the equity out of the property to help with rehab costs on that specific property and put the remaining into a new investment property.

Pulling a vacuum on it then refilling with freon.

Perks such as, access the MLS and being able to pull your own comps, and even saving some on agent fees. 

Later, move the new tenant in a freshly-painted apartment that demands market rent - repeat with the other apartment 3 months laterOption 2 is like getting the band aid wet and THEN pulling it off , like Eric C. mentioned earlierGood luck and may you prosper!

We’re trying to figure out how we can get access to capital that we can use to purchase more real estate outside of the solo 401k without pulling money out of the 401k and paying taxes.
