I find in these instances it is best to start making calls to local companies, explain that what you are doing and ask them what they think on a "budget" number.

For instance if you make more than 110,000 AGI or adjusted gross income you can no longer write off your mortgage insurance as a deduction based on current IRS guidelines.

If you believe in set it and forget it for individual stocks, consider the GE example or other dividend powerhouses like Enron, MCI Worldcom, Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Citigroup, and on and on and on.......Your famous blogger mentioned how the yield on cost will easily surpass a turn key rental.

For instance cashing out 280k from my primary residence and use it as down payment to purchase a 700k investment property.Thanks,Jason

After several instances, I only offer 6-month lease for new tenants, then it will be month-to-month 6 months later.

For instance, I just threw N.

However, in this instance I assume it's fine to pay for home expenses personally and take the deduction on the LLC.

It depends on your goals, investment criteria, the type of properties, and the Market you are investing in.For instance I am a Buy and Hold investor.  

@Andrew Johnson in this instance the "ridiculous" offer is about 20% under listing price.
