I personally don't mind debt. That being said,  I wouldn't get a mortgage unless I could afford the payments even if all the units were vacant. My plan is to have only 4 mortgages at a time, with all of my excess cash flow going into paying down the first one. This should allow me to buy one more each year, which is plenty for me.

Hello, 

I am a brand new investor, living and investing in Cadillac Michigan.  I just recently got a 4 unit multi-family under contract, and will be house hacking.

I intend to form an LLC to handle the property management. I have 2 questions about this:

1) can I operate a property management LLC for my own properties without being liscened real estate agent/broker(Michigan requirement for property management of other peoples properties.)

2.) In the lease agreement, do I put the LLC as the landlord, or my own name(property is in my own name.)

Also, where is a source for a good rental agreement?

Any other advice you would like to give would be appreciated.
