As for entities, I use one entity for active business (flipping and building) and others for holding rentals.

Residential, in my opinion, is a hassle so I am getting rid most of those properties so I can reduce my hands-on activities by 90%.

Linden is seeing a large amount of investment activity within residential 1-4 unit properties and newly developed facilities, which were ignited by the ONE Linden Plan.

I currently have two active VA home loans, to echo what @Carroll H. is alluding to. 

In the Bay Area, most HOAs actively restrict less-than 30 days rentals in CC&Rs, and can have % rental caps on units which may make MTRs difficult. 

My future options are either keeping what I’ve got and getting a PM to manage all daily activities, 1031 into STNL, and/or DSTs.

The forums have some information, but the bigger value is in their various member meetups, since it seems the forums are not "super" active with sponsor conversations.

They activate on sound/motion and will record a small VISUAL snippet of what is going on, but they DO NOT record sound2.  

Directly investing in real property investments, whether property, notes, tax liens, or leases requires a THOROUGH understanding of all LEGAL aspects concerning real estate law in general and the investment in particular.It’s IMPOSSIBLE for someone who hasn’t accumulated either a legal education in real estate law or 20 years active experience to have the knowledge and understanding of legal aspects sufficient to reduce legal risk to an acceptable level when investing directly in tax liens, notes or real property.
