For background information, I'm a W-2 contract employee who makes 80k+ a year and I have been working at this job since January of this year.

Good luck finding a SFH or condo/townhome that cash flows at all right now - though maybe better luck later this year when you're ready to buy. 

In this case, the LLC won't have any income performance from the previous year (i.e., no DTI).

Our efficient financing strategy, coupled with strategic market timing, led to a successful and profitable outcome.

There are stories everyday now how people who used to make 50-80k working for someone else started their own business and are making 400K a year.

You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

This one property we landed with a hard money loan and only $10k out of pocket will soon be a paid off $260k asset cash flowing $2,000/mo with which we will use to help pay-off a $500k 30 yr loan..in 8 years.

(I still haven't done my 2023 returns since this has been weighing the decision).That being said, I have a goal to buy another investment property this year and possibly do the BRRR strategy or a flip to get more capital on hand.

I am considering buying a starter home for my family (around $300k), living in it for a year, and then renting it out while buying a larger home for our family, like a 5-bedroom in the high $400k to low $500k range.

  $100 a year is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things...
