Reporting and addressing minor concerns fosters community responsibility within the building or complex.Cons of Allowing Tenant Maintenance:Liability Concerns: Landlords may be held responsible for tenant injuries during property maintenance.

Funny enough (and very relevant to this thread), I was seriously looking into OOS investing in PGH for a while (had a local agent checking properties, and got very close to making an offer on a small portfolio), but never quite pulled the trigger (in part because of one of the problems I mentioned in my post--it's hard to assemble a team of boots on the ground from the other side of the country!

I would explore accessing equity within the home or your rental prior to triggering a sale.

If you have access access to an 'Asset Protection Attorney" (Local), this is a good question to ask him/her.And also be sure to ask your tax person about the cost for maintaining either structure (accounting, tax, quarterly filings, etc...).Everyone always wants 'The Best", but (for instance) a Rolls Royce is considered one of the best, and it COSTS a lot more then a "Used Camrey".Getting expert advice on your personal situation is always best, vs just winging it based on someones response to an internet post.That being said, a Living Trust can own an LLC, but if that setup triggers an added tax return or two, IRS State and Local ($$$) is it the best choice.Which cuts down a tree better; a chainsaw, or a beaver?

I'm not an expert, I just know there are some rules that you should research before pulling the trigger.  

If title changes ownership names then it triggers a taxable event.

This will trigger a bunch of things that could be costly to change.  

Mortgage rates are starting to come down so it will trigger a seller's market with multiple Bids/Offers so be prepared.

thanks Steven, i hope the higher recent rates don't trigger a recession, people already having tough time with inflated prices, and consumer is very strong but worry part of that strength could be artificial from the 1 trillion still in their bank accounts from the stimi-checks, which is falling fast

I doubt your reading comprehension is poor, I bet your sensitivity is high and this got you triggered.
