Hello,This question may be more directed towards the rent to own area, but it does involve finding tenant buyers.

After renting for a year to learn the growth direction in Manchester, I made multiple offers on SFH's.Cash out Refi's I was interested in doing to not have a large down payment in the property plus all the renovation costs.

BetseyWe have listed our properties on Google Business .Since doing that, we are running about 50/50 of people coming directly to our web site and going through HomeAway ,VRBO or Trip Advisor or Flip KeyOur Season is almost 85% word of mouth. which really helps cut down booking fees.We have seen and been told that during season once guest find a place they book for the following year because if they don't they won't be able to get in.We have been doing this going on 3 seasons now, when we bought the place we inherited a couple of guest that have been staying on the property.

You will have negative cash flow and will only be able to rely on appreciation to profit....extremely risky.Additionally if plan A is a serious option for you then you are a very low risk investor and may want to reconsider directly investing in real estate and may be better off putting your money in a REIT.A investor, assuming they have the ability to move, would sell the CA property and move their money to where it can actually produce positive cash flow.

Is it possible to roll a portion of the old 401k into a Self Directed IRA and roll the rest into my new employers 401K program?

Can anyone direct me to a agent or company that focuses on this type of property?

Entities are mainly used for asset protection.However, some would argue that by structuring you will lower your chances of having an audit of your taxes due to the lower ratio of audit for entities compared to claiming it directly in your 1040.If you are using a multi members LLC taxed as a partnership, this LLC will only file an informational tax return (1065) and each member will pay the taxes on their own tax return, based on the K1 that the LLC provided them.

Sounds like you're already familiar with real estate and working in a positive direction on your career.

Please shoot me a direct message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. 

In my rentals I go for a custom look and have travertine (dated?)
