I just got many boxes of click & lock Nucore LVP 22mil wear layer with cork underlay for 2.59/sq ft. 

Getting the strategy for subsequent purchases set up before making the first purchase is VITAL.

Another question to ask, is how many layers are on the existing roof.  

Once its programmed to capacity, you will find it a vital organ in your business model. 

Easy and gives the applicant/tenants and me a layer of protection.

The funds seem like a good way to gain greater exposure and get an extra layer of due diligence done for you, but there must be downsides as well.

It looks like the wall was once patched with cement and now that layer has cracked.

It certainly isn't a path to financial freedom, if that's your goal.You have a whole extra layer with the company that holds your account, which obviously adds costs.You won't get the best mortgage terms, even on a residential property.I suggest just saving up and socking the money away in index funds.

After I posted this I spoke with two real estate attorneys AND my accountant who confirmed what the two of you said and added some points: The  LLC adds a layer of protection, one attorney did bring up that an LLC does not protect the landlord against liability for lead paint (the vast majority of homes here are pre-1978).

I understand that this information could be vital information to provide the appraiser with as well other data like permits , comps etc............
