This is my ideal situation.

But my plan is to wholesale properties to build cash, then buy rentals to get cashflow to match my current income.simple as that.

Ideally I would take that money and put it towards a down payment on a family home here in Texas.  

Sandy Springs seems to be doing well for SFHs but I haven't seen any duplexes up this way (you see them as you get into southern Marietta though, but may not be ideal location for you in your 20s.)

Having someone on your side that has a current pulse of the market is priceless.As far as flipping is concerned, since you are remote, it'd be more ideal for you to be a money partner and not involved.  

 I found I deal that could be very profitable for me, but it's so hard to pull the trigger on something that isn't pretty,  only depreciates, and might be more work than I expect.  

Unit 1, 3 beds 1 ba, laundry room on floorUnit 2, 2 beds 1.5 ba, laundry room on floor(Unit G 2-3 beds maybe 1.5 ba ideally w/ laundry room.)Enclosed porch offers additional space for storage x 2.

Also while I'm on the subject, a lot of my nixies read "not deliverable as addressed" and I'm taking them verbatim off the local tax assessor website, so does that most likely mean there isn't a person by or close to the name registered with the post office matching who you've addressed your mail to? 

Line of credit... this would be ideal but we're not sure whether we can close on our LOC in time so we're taking it off the table (for now)3.

In my opinion I would list both LLC1 and LLC2 as named insureds on the policy, but you are more correct than the agent that LLC2 is the owning entity and they should the the first named insured, if only one can be applied, try a different underwriter.Now what makes this complicated is Florida is tough to place, but you are correct in wanting the named insured's to match up.
