I've gotten them with banks based on a LLC's gross revenues up to $50K.
I'm guessing $50K or less no doc
$100K low doc
not sure above that?
All the LOCs I applied for at BofA, BoW, USB, Wells were interest only Prime + around 3% in 2020-early2021

I agree and have been doing that for 12 yrs.
to prepare for my 1st primary home purch.
in my mid 50s hopefully all cash when
rates and reverse repos and quant. tightening
present headwinds after layoffs occur in the USA
It took a lot of hard work, a spreadsheet,
and daily bookeeping for a decade to go
from a post bankruptcy 530 to 800 at one point
along with a LLC that has six figures in credit, etc.
I haven't even gotten started and the first step
was a million dollars in credit and cash to start.
But kids that grow up on a smart phone
might not be able to pay dues LOL?

I would put it on the mkt. immediately,
watch Gammon on YouTube for why,
then move to a no income tax state,
where opportunities will appear
soon if there's a housing crash
before the date on the 1099-S...

move all debt to true business credit,
i.e. NOT Capital One, Discover, etc.
if you're starting from scratch,
get FREE EIN in 15 min.
then FREE DUNS in a few more
then study YouTube or CreditBoards
so you can get your visible debt to $0
and LMK if you need free personal advice :)

GREAT Q Julie because I've left CA twice now because of the cost of housing and taxes!
But that's another several stories...
so let's get back to your Q :)
In my opinion, any career change,
comes down to skills over passion.
Unless you can handle lot's of trial
then failure then learning skills.
So I would say you need to be
VERY comfortable on the phone,
as opposed to being a face to face
"people person" like the Boomers :)
I just don't think texting typos
works out of state LOL :)
Talking on the phone is the
highway you have to fly down
to scale out of state deals right?

Have you done any real DSTs NOT Delawares?
If so, how do you trust the trustee?
What if they die, run, etc?
Why isn't everyone using these
instead of over paying for
semi-desirable 1031s that
keep building the house of
cards higher and higher?
