I am a long way from being exceptional at saying “no” and continue to add more “no’s” to my repertoire.The more you commit to, the less productive you are for each commitment, with few exceptions.

There are products specifically for rentals, but I feel like using this approach will work best for me in the long run as I grow because its generic and I can get any bookkeeper to work for me.

Remember this there are lots of excellent martials arts but POOR business owners.I looked at owning a school a decade ago but you have a limit on income and not make much money.

I have used this product on both our primary and our rental property. 

Check, ManageCasa, Buildium or Appfolio, they are the better products in the market.

But if you're thinking that there are certain properties you may want to exclude from flipping and hold them for productive investment use then the 1031 is a good opportunity. 

I started my RE journey earlier and I've been listening to the BP Rookie podcast religiously (as well as started reading Rich Dad Poor Dad).

Hi @Aries Li, Conventional lenders do have non-QM products that lend out to companies as long as it meets their criteria.

"Frankensteining" your transaction by buying personally and flipping it into the LLC is poor strategy, albeit done often.Hard money lenders generally prefer, if not always, want a LLC because it also protects them. 

There's a lot of risk in building for the bank and when the build is done and sold, their loan closes, so at best they're earning interest for a year or so, making the loan less desirable than other products.
