I have hired a bookkeeper in the beginning of the year to consolidate my financial statements. 

@Kevin MurrayI have residentialproperties under an LLC but they were bought as Residential loans then put in a land trust and then moved into the land trust.All of the banks I have talked to so far (close to 20), plus a few brokers have not been able to finance any residential loans directly into an LLC.The issue with the land trust route is that everyone you want to refi you have to pull the property out of the land trust.I also have consolidate Residential loans into a commercial portfolio loan which was in an LLC and was easy to do.However it took see searching to find the right bank to partner with.Hope this helps.

A consolidation exchange where you combine those 8 into one larger MF that is easier to manage or hire management. 

Looks like this applies to"new applications for rezoning building, permits for new construction, permit applications required for interior alterations or additions on existing structures (except for owner occupied residences where the owner completes and submits a residency affidavit), land disturbance permits, special use permits, special administrative permits, subdivisions, replattings, and lot consolidations"

I recommend recording the condition and consolidating items in 1 room to prepare for a new tenant.  

Even once they fill all their potential areas; then the consolidation process begins. 

If you want to consolidate let me know!

My RE experience to date (other than buying my own home) has been fixing up and renting out my partner’s home when we consolidated households earlier this year.

Consolidating your purchases initially will save exchange fees, save some of the time angst of the 1031 and recession proof part of your portfolio by leaving you with some un leveraged assets. 

I then refinanced the loan on my primary residence at an interest rate of 2.35%; consolidating the primary lien and HELOC into one payment.
