While a series LLC does seem to help simplify things in some regards, it is also newer and is not recognized by some judges who may be stuck with your case if you happen to be sued.

I also genuinely appreciate your recommendation to contact a RE broker and CPA, which are the next steps.

I recognize a year is pretty outdated data in such a volatile market, but it was still pretty rough then, too. 

I guess depending on what your definition of "traditional" means but here's a quick summary for reference in what you are asking:Generally speaking there are 2 main types of loans for investors: “Conventional” and “Portfolio”Conventional - I'll define these as loans that come from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (if you recognize those names).

The dips will reverse, and you will recognize the cycle up again. 

Can I recognize the rent revenue for November and December on my 2021 Tax returns even though I didn't receive the payment until Feb 2022?

I recognize from reading this forum that that isn’t an optimal approach, but I can’t articulate to him and the other exactly WHY or spell out the path I recommend for scaling.

I have a quick question on an issue that came up when reaching out to local banks/credit unions when discussing their ReFi options.I've contacted 8 local banks and credit unions and the issue is that they will only loan up to 80% of the appraised value, which they are considering as the lower of either the purchase price or the County's appraised value  ...in other words, they don't run a comp with other recent sales.I may be wrong, but these ReFi conditions may limit a perfect BRRRR, because although I am buying under market value and I am willing to put some elbow grease on it, the bank will only loan 80% of the purchase sale (and 80% of the Reno costs) which means they are not recognizing the added equity/value to the house, and I could not recover 20% of my investment.One (creative) alternative I could have is purchasing the property for a price above the agreed price (let's say +$40k) and then request a check/credit from the seller for that same amount.

You need to wrap your arms around cap rate so you can recognize when it is being manipulated.

Note Columbus appreciation is 10/10 for state of Ohio, but only 5/10 for nation (San Diego is 10/10 nationally).Using initial cash flow to predict actual cash flow over a long term hold does not recognize that markets project the expected appreciation into the price and therefore initial cash flow has poor correlation of actual long term cash flow.
