The hot water heater, appliances, etc. cost the same amount in both situations, but you are collecting more CAPEX reserves in the higher rent property.

Any suggestions on how to purchase a $350k house for someone in my situation?

I would also say network with some lenders, or loan brokers to understand what needs to come to the table for your ideal situation to get the pre-approval and funding. 

It took 3 part time days of work.The fencing was a frustrating situation.

Several people mentioned that a quitclaim for the LLC was necessary, but there were others   Also, as most of the conversation surrounding the BRRR strategy seems to be around rentals I was unclear if it could be used for flips such as in this situation. 

But remember that only capital gains can be excluded under the 121, not deferred depreciation recapture, so you'd need to speak to a CPA about your specific situation to make sure you know what's what. 

I am just curious what other people have done in a similar situation.

My main concern would be an eviction situation.

But that same situation does not apply when contributing a property into an entity after a 1031 exchange is complete.

I can recommend either, depending on your situation.
