If you can buy it in a LLC and the LLC is funded, then yes buy it in a LLC.I am not an attorney, but have done a lot of the stupid stuff people tell you that you should do and at the end of the day every accountant and attorney after the fact told me all of that is such overkill and just a waste of $. 

I usually give tenants a 60 day notice when I'm going to raise rents. 

The listing has been live for 180 days and has yet to sell through my real estate agents.

I can make properties cash flow all day at a 5% to 6% rate.

Go to the city during the day , go to the counter, and talk to the person in charge.

Next option is as a furnished 30+ day rental, but so far we have been unable to even get LTR rents for it furnished.  

As far as your rental that you currently own, I would change your expectations a little bit, 80% cash outs are hard to come by these days and the rates on the few products available are really high.

WE generally sold our notes after a few months of seasoning. note buyers for land in those days wanted 20% returns at least.. so it became a function of running PV's as to how we would set the terms..

Secondly, I am a realtor and also, I am a lender who sees wholesalers on the Hud all day.

We were sending 3,000 messages daily, 5 days a week, and getting an average of 3.5 leads daily.
