Some houses are just better for one than the other. 

Purchasing a house in Bremerton, WA but we live in Nevada.

Similar green energy investments could be considered if you can make the numbers work (credits on some types of low income housing can be north of 50%).Depending on how long these properties have been held, they could consider implementing cost segregation studies via a change in accounting method to accelerate some depreciation.The operating proceeds could be re-deployed into new properties where cost segregation is an option to accelerate depreciation to offset proceeds.If the properties are low basis and we are not maximizing the 199A deduction, maybe considering an S-Corp structure for management to be able to participate in retirement plans and also generate wages to use as a 199A base. 

I've been educating myself on real estate for the past 3ish weeks or so but I have about 10k worth of credit card debt should I try and pay it all off so I can get my credit score up and have better approval odds for my first investment loan (I would be using my VA loan).

Here is our first deal:- We each hold 50/50 of the property on the title (I contributed 80% of downpayment, and he was supposed to contribute 20% to the downpayment, and we got a hard money loan)- after we sold the property, I had to fill out the 539 form for withholding tax in CA.- The partner brought in a cash contributor for his portion (let's say A, who got 50% of my partner's profit, basically 25% of the profit) to the deal and put a lien on the property.
