I sold a house last year and needed the money to build another house so I have to take the tax hit.

Yes it still does exist but not so easy to find and usually is easier to achieve on C/D class housing which means you're going to work for that money.

You will want to move the debt from your name to the LLC, tied to the houses.

Hi guys, I am about to close on my first rental property. We are supper excited to start our career as real estate investors! My concern is knowing what to look for and what to avoid. How can I learn about looking at ...

You want to be able to select who rents your house and how do you know the person they sublet to will pay the rent and take care of the place?

@Patrick Geretystart with a house hack

Not into roommates so I think house hacking is out. 

I have come across multiple properties - typically houses that require rehab - where the seller is not the owner of the property but what I believe to be a wholesaler or investor who has been assigned the rights of the property to sell to an end buyer (me) for a (substantial) fee. 

We currently have around 175K in equity in our house we are willing to access some of it utilizing a HELOC but we want to get connected with investors that can help us walk through this! 

Viewed another way the house generated $9,400 per month in appreciation over the last 9 years.
