A little bit about my experience in Real Estate… I started a couple years ago doing some house flips in Detroit ( It was a 2 year plan) then decided to sell everything, moved to Washington DC which can't afford anything in the DMV area but last year I purchased a very nice 3500 SQFT Duplex in Shaker Heights, suburb of Cleveland.

I planned to move it into LLP after a year due to Freddie Mac restrictions.I’ve done my own research and seems the rates are worse then what I’d get as a 2nd home for LLP. 

(My plan is to consolidate that debt and pay off loc within 18 months, then potentially use it as down payment on another building)I’m feeling a little stuck and looking for some advice.

Last time specifically for me was Phoenix area in 2011-2013.
