I have worked with a few clients who are planning on riding the Intel train and investing in the NE area for STR while they still can. 

I only have one property and it’s got around 80k in equity that I can’t use until mid July but make decent income from that rent, my plan was to use the initial cash out refinance to do a fix and flip or 2 to pay back the refinance and use profits to go towards another rental but the waiting period I feel is making me miss out on a lot of opportunities.

Remember to file as a foreign corporation in any state where you plan to do business, especially once you start acquiring property, to protect your corporate veil.Lastly, my Disclaimer: This is not legal advice. :)

@Kevin Goldman if you plan on paying all cash on purchased rentals, your biggest challenge will be deciding what risk-reward strategy to pursue:SFR vs MFRWhat property Class?

I would keep on them, keep reaching out and letting them know you plan to fight it and asking them for more information to substantiate the claims. 

Come up with a plan -  I recommend that you start in your own  backyard first and get some practice with some local homeowners who are in distress or want to sell.   

Hi Kasey,If you plan to scale a portfolio, over the long run it would make sense to put them under the LLC.

Like Ken said, really depends on what you're planning on doing with the property.

Ive always used conventional lending 20% down 5 years ago I did a duplex and renovated it with plan to brrrr but life changes caused me to not refinance to keep the cashflow high instead.

Understand your market, diversify investments, and be prepared for challenges with a solid financial plan.
