OOS investing is much more difficult than advertised. 

I have read LLC's are not the best to buy real estate with it being difficult to get loans from banks due the limited liability. should I put these properties under my name, or should create some sort of corporation/llc to put my properties under. 

It is difficult to maintain, it scratches, it warps, it stains, it needs to be cleaned with cleaners made for wood floors, pets tear it up, it transfers noise, it shows wear patterns, etc. 

To do a clean BRRRR in today's interest rate and highly competitive environment is very difficult.

DO you have a day job that makes this even more difficult?

so new investors looking to cash flow = as difficult as everexperienced investors looking to build wealth via equity = still possible

I am looking at a prospective out of state long distance deal that has been difficult to obtain lending on as there is both a regular home and mobile home on the same property and the mobile home causes the potential investment to not meet conventional guidelines and therefore not even DSCR loans are an option.

Makes sense though - it's like pricing, it's very easy to price units in a condo building since they are all so similiar vs a custom home which can be very difficult to evaluate. 

It is a beautiful area but because of the zoning and rules up there it would be difficult for the area to "blow up" and have a ton of new growth.

I have a duplex that I owner occupy here that works great, however finding a new deal that makes sense is difficult in Madison.I grew up in the Janesville area but really am not familiar with it anymore in regards to the neighborhoods.
