That's hitting the 2% "rule", and if you can maintain regular rent on that you've really hit a home run in today's market.

In today's world you need to be about 28-35% down on properties to be gross cash flow positive, closer to 40-42% to be truly net cash flow positive(i.e 50% of your income goes to maintaining the property, other 50% is actually profit).My recommendation is to buy ideally a 4/3 SFR that's a starter-friendly one in a good area, and rent it out by the room.

Our goal is to purchase two multifamily properties per year, and we want to ensure that we establish the most effective structure for asset protection from the outset.We’re exploring options such as Subsidiary LLCs, Parent LLCs, and Irrevocable Trusts to maintain both asset protection and anonymity.

You are correct.. don't educate when you lack ETHOS (trust/credibility). 

Any way to delay the official sale to keep taxes low while still maintaining a contract to buy? 

Aha yeah I dont really trust flippers to do the repairs correctly - Even with my own flip I was tempted to cheap out on it but you always pay for it in the end!

@Sarah Brown That is not correct.

Is any of the above, correct?

Keeping your listing updated, maintaining clear and friendly communication, valuing feedback, and adding thoughtful touches can significantly enhance their experience.

I'm assuming you're referring to residential (SF and MF) properties that are vacant, is that correct?
