Does it need work , what's the going rents in the area , these are things you should definitely look into , I have multiple rentals .

My plan was to flip a house or two for a couple years until able to purchase duplex/multi pled properties to generate some cash flow.

And, even though the price point for entry is comparatively low, it requires you to be an expert at deal analysis, rehab estimation, marketing, negotiation, creative strategies, and multiple exit strategies.  

If you are working with a local hard money lender they will generally have a local title company that they have done multiple deals with.

I need a site that i can put in criteria for more than one state or atleast city, so i wouldnt have to do so many searches.

@Clinton FilesAre you saying you have a loan structured like @Jeremy Pace described or do you have multiple house, each with a different loan that have cross-colorization? 

Yes, there are multiple banks that do this now. 

If we fly over multiple states looking at property from thousands of feet up do we get multiple trip tax deductions?...........................

Maybe another way would be to partner up with another great friend that you know and trust, go to some local REIAs (there is one at the Mission Inn next week) and build a relationship with someone that would want to partner up, or if you have family that is trusted and close they invest with you.I believe those are your best options, and the LLC idea would be great once you start to gather multiple properties.

Throw out some cardboard boxes on the curb you may get multiple offers to buy em ;)  I CAN'T SAY THIS LOUD ENOUGH 2016 WILL BE A STELLAR YEAR TO SALE IF YOU ARE THINKING OF CASHING IN SOME INVENTORY GUYS!
