Your painting contractor probably did it to hide less-than-stellar drywall workmanship.

@Ben Leybovich Absolurely stellar job Ben!

The advantage of out of state investing is that I don’t have to rush and can wait for a stellar deal!

Yes, I've got a stellar real estate insurance broker who happens to serve Buford.

The equal housing law has strict requirements mandating stellar special insurance and who can manage.

Even if you had stellar credit that's the first question most lenders will ask you. 

But ultimately you could operate all 11 properties as individual series under a single Series LLC, under a single EIN and requiring one K-1 (once again, this is the idea - may depend on your investments,) and even able to be operating through a single bank account with some stellar bookkeeping.Your post focused on the “solutions” more than your specific situation, so this information is very generalized.

@Joseph Todd I'm a local investor and I use National Bank of Commerce and they've given stellar customer service for both commercial & convention lending.

Also, any stellar attorneys that are excellent with real estate investors?

Even if this works out stellar, financially for me, I'm not sure I would want to do it again because of the morality of it.
