In addition to ample windshield time learning the city, I had a lot of local folks help me see the opportunity in Augusta.

From some additional research, it seems that Texas is a non-disclosure state, which could be the reason why there isn't that much information out there.

If you have a good CPA, realistically, the only additional deductions you get for putting a property in an LLC are the costs associated with creating and maintaining the LLC. 

Say they list a property for $100k, and it will cash flow for you at that price, but they actually have more than $100k in debt on the deal.

There will be very little, if any, additional income coming in during your retirement.Rather than accumulate more money, the goal of retirement is simply to enjoy your life, while not running out of money.But this is, in fact, one of the most common fears about retirement.

This  would allow me to pay down an additional $40,000 of debt, leaving more funds from the cash out refi for rehabbing a non-income-producing garden unit in another building that I have sitting there.

The only reason we did it was because the numbers were good enough that we were willing to pay the additional cost to get the squatters our. 

If you had a decent relationship with them and are worried about the things they could spread, I would at least make them pay that additional month and start advertising immediately.

In addition, you can reach out to a local hard money lender (not a national lender) and they will point you in the direction of fix and flippers who would make an offer.

Cash offers obviously can get better cash flow due to no debt service.
