My only reason for seeing this as a viable option is that there may be more options to compare when looking on a nationwide scale versus solely the options in just your local market.

If I were in your shoes I would combine a few strategies like this:Purchase a 4plex to house-hack right away or as soon as possibleAfter living in ^^ for 1 year move out and purchase a 2-4 unit property as a house hackDuring ^^^ year look for a property that would be a good BRRRR candidate. 

.- I would have a full-time VA, and Acquisitions manager focused solely on list-building, cold calling, and MLS research to find the next investments.- I would have a dedicated agent who handled all offers, listings, leadings etc..- I would have a full-time VA, and field manager to assist with all project management - so that I could technically not need to Manage flips or renovations if I didn't want to.- I would personally manage the business operations, and oversee Project Management for all flips and renovations.- I would have strong relationships with 2-3 sub contractors in each trade in my market who I serve well, and who are excited to work with me.- I would have a rental portfolio that never dropped below 25 doors or $65k of net cashflow yearly- I would flip a minimum of 15 properties per year- I would consistently earn more a gross income over $250k per year from all real estate investments active & passive.If you are actually asking what would I do differently if investing were easy..

Are you relying solely on one approach (calls, letters, etc.)?

I wouldn't solely focus on the broker when interviewing I would also focus on the rest of the team and see if they help grow and mold you.

Great points that I should’ve included in my original post: 1) Yes I’ll be paying off 100% of original loan; 2) the cash out is solely intended to serve as deposit to purchase another property! 

Hello everybody, For tax purposes, we are planning to make our investments under a new LLC that my wife will be the sole owner.

PA LLC is 100% owned by my holding LLC in NJ and I'm the sole member of NJ LLC. 

Just take out a $1M-2M umbrella policy for a few hundred dollars a year and stay as a sole-proprietor as long as you can.

My estate will be the 100% sole owner.Currently, my investment capital is sitting in my personal accounts.In order for the LLC to purchase and hold title, does the capital need to season first in the LLC's bank account?
