Selling your rentals likely triggered some depreciation recapture and capital gains and if you do shift toward private lending or flips through your LLC, you have some solid opportunities to reinvest in a more tax-efficient way.Private lending income is taxed as ordinary income, so using an LLC, especially one taxed as an S-Corp if income grows, can help manage how that income flows and what expenses you can deduct.If you dive back into flips, keep in mind those are treated as dealer activity, meaning profits are considered ordinary income, not capital gains, but there are smart ways to structure it if that’s your main focus.If you have a clear tax plan going in, you'll start off on right path in realigning your investing strategy.

Understand your potential tenant pool, local crime states, drug/homeless in the area, schools, employers, etc.

I don't like D neighborhoods which would stand for Drug infested, Dangrrous, Dilapidated neighborhoods.

If you plan to hire an advisor, look for a flat-fee advisor working for an RIA (Not a broker dealer) that doesn't have anything to sell you. 

That is what is meant by slow flip except generally you will use borrowed funds to buy distressed property and sell for more with financing--similar to what some used car dealers do but with an appreciating asset instead.

If you're doing the the math at home that is an ROI of 73.46% and an APR of about 161%.And the only reason the first two deals are taking 4 - 5 months is because we went wholesale first and we drug our feet there for a few weeks, then we found a buyer who wanted financing and we wasted 3 weeks with him. 

I have been party to a law suit that has drug on a couple years about new STR rules in a local city (there was nothing defining STRs in that city other than tax collection prior to a few years ago).
