@Michael NguyenI’m a single family investor with 29 SFR.

If they were insured with Cal Safe they are both dramatically underinsured and a single neighborhood would deplete the programs' reserves. 

I am single and 42 and doing this all on my own... no one in my family has any experience in the investing side of things, so I am truly starting from scratch.As of April 2025, I will be moving to the Charlotte area (along with my two pups) and putting a renter in my Austin house. 

They can also be an LLC that specifically elected to be treated as a corporation – there is a box for this option, too.If they signed that they are a corporation, as opposed to a single-member LLC – then you’re off the hook.What about DBAs?

I did all of mine several months ago as they are single member LLC;s and I already have to go through fingerprinting, background checks for my NMLS license as well as audited financials for our fund.

Newbies starting out get all spun around with:😵‍💫 Do I do a single family rental?

All you need is a single place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, and other things.

I don't think you are going to be able to get insurance for two separate living units in a single-family when they are both illegal and likely do not have the correct egress windows (basement) for fire safety which could subject you to huge liability if something happens to either party.

For example, do you know what single family rentals are owned by Blackrock?

I just purchased a single-family home in a college town.
