If so, what strategy will you use (buy & hold, flip, or wholesale, etc) and what would the ideal offer be?

That being said, I'm sure you can also empathize with me that it's not ideal to know you're only producing income when the drill is spinning. 

Ideally, investors should delegate work and focus on what they are good at, which is investing, not dealing with tedious work.

So it's purchased as a primary, and it very well may be, but ideally it will not be and I will stay the course as stated above and buy a primary in which case I believe I'm following all of the rules and just sort of want to get a better grasp on what I can/cannot do with that type of situation in regards to LLC and if anyone else can foresee any issues. 

You can do a search on any number of government survey website for population growth, median SFH purchase price, unemployment rate etc.. to determine if it's a market that fits your desires.I did just purchase a mix use property in upstate, NY and wanted to chime in with some concepts you may or may not be aware of.   

Good fit drug addicts though.

Another possible idea, though not ideal, would be to claim the original cabin as an investment property after it was approved 15 months ago as a 2nd home (it's been only 15 months of ownership) and then get the new one as a second home (this new one costs a lot more).

Not ideal, but could be student rental in my area as there is a shortage of housing for students at the local college.

The hardest part of that process is finding a home that fits that mold. 

Rentals for future wealth is my ideal plan.
