A simple holding-operating LLC strategy is what I want, where the Holding LLC contains properties organized into series, and the Operating LLC collects rents.Thanks in advance

Recognize being the GC is work, requires strong organization skills (especially with tight timelines), decent communication skills, and design skills.I have acted as GC many times and have done well on these rehabs but I recently completed a large rehab (completed mid May).  

As many of the surrounding regions grapple with rising water, heat, population and traffic problems and tensions, those invested in the Oregon Coast will have a sanctuary from climate and its societal effects. 

Good communication with guests and a well-organized system for handling issues are also crucial.

I just don't want the extra traffic, signage, or liability of actually operating a business in the residence.

So everything from a traffic ticket, to a drug offense, etc.  

I've got a new listing that has had ok traffic.

Each property has a home warranty so repairs typically just require a call to the home warranty company who then organizes the logistics of setting up a handyman from their network.

In Milwaukee, I'd need 2 exits from the attic and 50% of the space has to have at least a 7 foot height on ceilings.Two things you want to check: both requirements are correct, but on top of that the city is getting reluctant permitting 3rd units: 50% more occupants mean 50% more water and sewer and 50% more traffic and parking.The other issue is that the cost of finishing a thrid floor with proper insulation/ventilation will run about $50-60/sf and only makes sense if you can get strong rents. 

The coffeehouses get a continuously evolving selection of art to keep their property looking fresh and interesting and the artists get a high traffic location to advertise their wares.
