Trust me on this one, just take a look at the skyrocketing insurance rates in those regions.

We agreed that the GC partner will setup his own LLC and bank account and I will fund.

I'm finding some listings on a popular realtor mls listing site (not sure if I'm allowed to say which one here)  that have a box on the listing which states "Assumable Mortgage" and has a "learn how" button, when I click on the button it says: "This home has an assumable mortgage"  and it lists the current average interest interest rate for April 2024 (7.00) for a new loan vs.  

Either there is a secret everyone else knows or LTR in Denver simply won’t cashflow with the current market prices and interest rates.

Same goes for number of LLCs and what to fund them with, since bear in mind that CA tends to be more cumbersome and expensive to have LLCs than other states.California is generally more cumbersome than other states when it comes to taxes and filings.

For funding this first purchase I have available equity in my Tampa property.

Obviously this doesn't make a lot of sense from a cash flow basis but if we were to refinance it later on at a lower rate, after we do some upgrades, that could significantly help us but the reduction in cash flow is concerning.If we take the equity out and truly Brrr it, then we are doing better because we avoid the lower value mortgage but can finance at a higher level after reno.  

We used Fund and Grow to build business credit through credit cards.

There are some exceptions, but they are rare, they have access to funds, and they typically built their empire when the timing was right and got lucky.Likewise, it's not often that you can buy a house and sell it for big money six months later.

After this additional deposit, your security deposit balance will be $Y.Even after this increase, I know your monthly rate is still well below the average market rent for 1-bedroom apartments in [CITY].
