It allieviates the need for an LLC (additional cost/time) and any complexities that may come in forming an LLC.

Every step along the way, however, you are going to be asked to 're-up' your commitment levels, possibly raise additional funds, etc - and if you don't have the credibility, capabilities, cahoonas, whatever...... 

Approval process is much faster and rules are much more relaxed.I recently got permit approval in SJ (Willow Glen) for a 630 sqft attached ADU + 170 sqft addition to the existing unit.

I have a prospective renter who wants a 6 months lease but is willing to pay $150 over my asking price and a full months pet deposit in addition to the full months security deposit.The problem is he has no credit score.

Additionally, since the $86,000 is being allocated to multiple projects around the property, the units will not be fully renovated but the rent be at market value.

If i do ill try to pay it off and add it to the list of rentals that i will hopefully own,  but I really want this flip to go through so I can make  a lump sum to move forward in finishing my property i already paid off, and pay off a second.
