Thanks all for the recommendations...i was debating getting my PE or getting my RE for my portfolio growth...SO I should put my P.E licensing aside for a while...:-) Again, thanks for the affirmation

I have been debating this type of situation as I'm selling my house and will be buying investments when it sells.

However, I posted this needing help and ideas, not to start a debate.

Not debating that fact.

hi,I am debating between condo and SFr.

30 day notice and that's it, no other reason to argue or debate with her since the lease is month-to-month. 

I've been debating paying for the upgrade, but for now I'm still using it free and getting a lot of value!

So it would depend on your market: are there more people who make 120k a year who don't want to (or can't) buy a house or people who make $9/hr who can't buy a house.Another aspect is the ability to add value to an apartment complex from raising rent, adding coin-op laundry (debatable on the profitability), rental storage, soda/vending machines not to mention the natural appreciation.

There are a lot of threads on here about using LLCs, including a big blog debate a few weeks ago: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/06/06...and: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/06/14...
