LLC is a tax vehicle Not an asset protection vehicle for single members and or family type lLCs at least from what I see.

So if lowering the rent 8% would have filled it you would have been ahead.

What is the true marketing channel Whether it’s direct mail, cold calling, networking, or something else, I’d love to hear what’s been working in your market and how you’re staying ahead of the competition.

Looking back 7-8 years from when I did that, if I had held on to the one property between cash flow and appreciation, I'm not sure I'd be any further ahead. 

Just a heads up, we don't post our prices publicly because we raise them frequently given our growth, and don't want potential members to get outdated pricing information. 

@Anthony MillerYour property management experience is a major advantage as you start investing, giving you a head start with tenant screening, lease agreements, and maintenance coordination.

I'll have an engineer look it over and stamp off before I move ahead.

It may not appear this way on the surface but you are going to come out ahead by focusing on purchasing fewer but quality assets rather than becoming a door accumulator.

While that's certainly not ideal, my leverage was low to start with and my loan maturities were ten years so I have staying power to sell into a better market.Looking ahead, anything I'd buy would have to cash flow out of the gate in a higher-rate climate. 

Hey Steven, Great question, and it’s smart that you’re thinking ahead about protecting your investment.
