In the residential world, some requirements are relaxed comparing to commercial so it's up to you whether you want to spend the money to have a better planning versus skip the planning and perform the work impromptu.

@Hunter HarmonFirst off let me say, incredible job on both saving money and doing your research.

That appreciation upon exit is where the real money gets made, and that cash flow is simply a little gravy along along the way.  

There is no easy money.

Two months later, the investment of time and money paid off in a huge way.

I can also get a Home Equity Loan from Better Mortgage for another $70k and then sell which would reduce the taxable amount to about $130kCurious on thoughts from others if you would prefer to try and rent it out again or sell and allocate the money elsewhere. 

An example of this would be mixing your personal money and LLC money in the same bank account.3.

I make good money and I have enough money saved up to buy my first property.

I now make double what I use to so I can afford to put money into investing monthly.
