Is there a resource whereby I can run a search for, say, the last 6 months or 12 months for all properties that were purchased "off market", not listed by an agent.  In my area they are generally labeled, "NON MLS" on...

The house hack approach makes sense otherwise.Think about cash reserves.  

Or, just keep going as I am, doing delayed lending to cash out after I make repairs and get a tenant in them.

Once you move out and rent out both sides, you should be able to cash flow.

Make sure the $400-$500/month cash flow is enough to cover unexpected costs.It wouldn't hurt to look for other refi options or consider a different loan option, which might offer better terms.

Contrary to how youtubers glorify the profits, property-flipping is essentially a value-add/opportunistic strategy and the key risks you, as the investor, are taking are 1) asset prices, i.e., how well will the market be when you sell the property, and 2) capital expenditures, i.e., can you financially efficiently improve the asset to the end users (renters or users).

Since I'm not buying properties in cash (nor willing to accept a commercial rate for a conventional deal) I am doubtful of deeding property to a Holding LLC after close - it seems risky (and wouldn't that pierce the corporate veil already?).

This post is my small way of advising against that and hopefully steering some people straight.There's no shame in sitting on cash, building reserves, and being patient right now.
