Also you can take a second job to increase those 2k savings, or grow inside the job you already have.

To increase value focus on Kitchens and baths.

I do not see how you will ever get a rent increase pay back in any reasonable amount of time doing any more than that on the outside.

If you start slowly, it gives you time to learn and network, and in the meantime, you increase rents and your mortgage stays the same, which opens that gap in your DTI. 

Do people find it harder to BRRR with multi-plexes than SFR due to lack of comparable sales proving the increased value after renovation?

Been looking for almost a year now for something attractive, have been super conservative, and believe I've got a good one now.

I am interested in areas where college students and young professionals are attracted to.

I don't think that you use an LLC unless you are building a business to attract investors and that is a more complicated structure with more costs involved and I think you only do that when you have a lot of success under your belt and know how to deploy hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars with outside investors' money. 

I feel I am ready now.My focus is on increasing cash flow and building equity.
