Two of the biggest challenges I face are that I’m not very liquid at the moment, and the Seattle area is extremely expensive.

My agent is saying that we are unable to split the contract that way (or reduce the purchase price), so I'm trying to figure out options.

I think the big question is how badly do you want to keep the extra $50k liquid?

And I suspect their E and O will kick in if this money is lost  just sayin..

If I were in your shoes, I’d look at the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) to stretch your liquidity while building equity and cash flow.

They give the benefit of instant liquidity and being able to sell them when you need the cash.

I'm looking for advice on a situation with an investment property my business partner and I purchased in June 2024 under our joint LLC in Springfield, OR.

Here’s some context: Property 1: >$100k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $220k @ 2.88% (30-year fixed)Property 2: >$70k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $252k @ 3.38% (30-year fixed)Extra considerations: - I have $15-20k liquid to use for any of these deals- My current job is relatively stable, but not high-payin- Current properties in TX, living in NY, looking to invest in Mid-West (crazy, I know)- No other debt obligations besides the two mortgagesUltimate goal/timeline: Though a bit ambitious, I’d love to build up the portfolio to 10-20 units in the next two yearsI understand that any/all replies aren't financial advice; all ideas welcome for information purposes. 

I use a schedule E and do not have an LLC or business name, so can I purchase the vehicle under my personal name and take section 179?
