Many people use their realtors or someone a realtor suggests.  

My suggestion is showing the landlord your text messages confirming that your conversation was about just the two rooms.

While I don’t suggest that the smaller type investor purchase and utilize “exotic” vehicles like foreign asset protection trusts, family limited partnerships with outside controls, or Byzantine or convoluted maze of ownership entities, the more simple strategies of using Series LLCs, self directed retirement plans, and paying off their home mortgage to the extent of the Federal BK homestead exemptions can insure that a plaintiff attorney never even considers going after them.  

Ask anyone who ever tried to sell a cash flowing biz, it's not that easy (compared to selling a house)The best play IMO is to run a business and feed the profits into real estate.There are a million ideas, but you can start here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/biggerpockets-business-podcast Thanks for the suggestion Marcus. 

If you have little to no money, then I would not suggest doing a program like this.

So when you say that you prefer the syndicator gets a fixed % of all the profits, are you suggesting you see better alignment with the GP just getting a straight split without LPs getting preferred returns?

For the insurance, I would suggest you contact your agent but it has not affected my insurance to have pets. 

Any thoughts, suggestions, or referrals on what first step to take are appreciated. 

I took your suggestion and spent the night checking through the cities Master Plan.

Any suggestion on where to start getting information on this subject?
