I imagine you have some type of consumer debt that is a higher cost than 4% and is not tax deductible.

If you make it your goal to not invest in a property until 6 months from now, you'll be able to relax and give yourself plenty of time to educate yourself on the different strategies and the local market before making your move.At that pace, all you have to do is spend maybe 30-60 minutes per day doing research and reading, participating on the forums, etc. and you'll be an expert in no time.Here's a link to a ton of short, easy-to-consume videos that Bigger Pockets has created for beginners to get started with.https://www.biggerpockets.com/courses/a-beginners-introduction-to-real-estate-investingStart checking those out, and once you're finished you'll have an action plan laid all out in front of you to take your next step in the right direction.

That language is "consumer protection" type language warning debtors of people who try scam them by taking over their title, prior to the auction, to collect any surplus, or those that try talk them into giving up/sharing their surplus after the sale.  

If I keep the blue print of the house I could flip it for a modest sum. 

I felt that my brother was cutting corners in the work and basically band-aiding problems and not really correcting them in order to stay on our very modest and tight budget.

Its very time consuming and at times I'm not finding the right information or I don't know what to look for.

Most lenders in the non-bank/non-traditional space that work with hard or private money will require that the cash-out proceeds are used for a business purpose and not any consumer purpose (or personal, family, or household purposes). 

@Rick Santasiere, @Kevin Hunter thank you, I have set up an LLC for my remodeling company a couple years ago, and I thought that it might be the same steps to form a LLC, or rather fewer steps than I had to take, IE. visit the Consumer Protection Office in Hartford, notify your town hall, and obtain the proper licenses.  

B) While I appreciate, look for a way to increase cash flow, especially while there is risk of increased property tax and maintenance in the semi-near future.All this said, I might be getting only 4-6%, which I'm educated enough to make in more traditional, less time consuming, investment strategies.  

I'm trying to train my tenants to expect a modest increase every year.
