Right now the rental market is so strong that if I do buy in a city that charges it, I will have no problem raising the rates and passing the cost on to the renter. 

After watching one of the latest webinars I decided to make the commitment and go Pro.A little bit about myself - I'm 24 years old, born and raised in San Diego.

there was a good article I read about this that helped me figure my allowances.http://lifeoffimd.com/2018/03/14/the-w4-form-your-automatic-raise/

Am I allowed to raise their rent without having done any renovations/improvements to the apartment?

Is there is  other ways how I can raise the capital for future investment?

First off, I'm fairly new to BP forums, so this might not be in the right forum, so admins, feel free to move it wherever It belongs :)My question: How would one goes to raise capital by creating a company (that will buys and holds property) and selling private share to friends and family?

I fell stuck but know there has to be a way to raise the funds needed or to get my loan through.

BUT I GET TO PICK WHICH TAKES PRIORITY.Thank god for my wife who has encouraged me to make this decision even with three kids at home to raise.

Thus, if I acquire at a higher price, my purchase price would raise the average but the impact would be smaller than if they were using my purchase price as the valuation. 

I would avoid a sale unless you no longer want to own the property or the demand is very high in the area.If your only goal is to raise capital (and assuming you're not towards the end of your 27.5 years of depreciation) then a refi might be your best financial play.
