Prefer keeping this kind of stuff behind closed doors if possible and sorting it out without revealing dirty laundry.I would have been in the same boat as many other turnkey providers that are no longer around if I didn't focus on limiting how much business I take on.And even with my stupidly strict criteria, we still copped the brunt of the sword.Business is business and people are people, sometimes things just don't work out.It's a true shame but such is life.I always want whats best for everyone and for every deal to work out and for everyone to succeed.With the best intentions, mistakes are still made.Those that work hard and do their best, will also make mistakes unfortunately.Again, I sleep in peace and whenever I F@#$ up, it's an honest mistake so crucify me all you want.Thank God, never been sued and back round is squeaky clean and I intend to keep it that way.Less is more and when crisis does arise (It always eventually does no matter how much you prepare and do your best), we can hopefully rectify and do our best to fix.For example, just had an investor loose $50,000 on a deal and the next few deals we are working for free for this investor.We don't have to do this, we want to...Not sure how we would be able to accommodate such an instance if I had 50+ investors loosing that much so I guess my stringent on-boarding criteria has saved our A$$ for 10+ years now.Granted, I'm burnt out on folks and have pulled back even more from doing our "measly" 4-5 turnkey deals per month and have decided to focus on just building my own portfolio.Like I initially intended when I moved to this country in 2012.Thanks mate and keep being great

I'd like to keep savings and be able to hire out some of the work (something we have not done in the past).My thoughts are to put both into an LLC and look for investors or a business loan, and purchase and move to a new home.

If appreciation and scalability are your long-term goals, consider house hacking or saving for a bigger market later.

Being a one stop shop for mortgage, real estate, and property management helps us save our clients $$$ and they only have one company to deal with and one contact saves time and creates an unmatched synergy.

If you plan on moving do something else in the meantime and build up income/savings

Given your financial constraints and the property's ineligibility for historic tax credits, this approach allows for reinvestment into assets more aligned with retirement account rules.For future real estate investments, you don't need an LLC for tax reasons.

If you are able to sell I'd say sell, if it's not looking like that's going to happen then try to get it on a long term loan with renters so you can save on your monthly payment, then get the equity back out and move onto something else!

Principal Paydown:  Cash Flow:  Tax Benefits: Savings from depreciation and interest deductions.For a deal to make sense, at least three of these components—home appreciation, cash flow, and principal paydown—need to be strong.

It may make sense to save a bit more and invest from a position of power.Keep in mind most helocs are adjustable.

In the beginning I want to manage by myself to save cost.
