The exact amount of rent on Jan 1 will depend on whether your notice of the increase was handled according to the lease or not, but you may not want to risk providing her with angles to fight you in court just over a few dollars.

Depends on the Class of the property/tenant.Class A, you may just have occassional maintenance issues.Class B, more maintenance issues, some tenant payment issues, some tenant drama.Class C, a lot of maintenance issues, a lot of tenant payment issues, a lot of tenant drama.Class D, too much to list.

It varies a lot by market, guest type and even the neighborhood and type of home within a particular market.

Check local law, whether you have to accept varies by state.

That will depend on the numbers.

So I'm guessing it might depend on your state laws and personal situation. and make sure you know of any sticky items that would eliminate the protection you get from the LLC.

Rents for $1,800+ a month, depending on how long tenant will commit. 

I then plan to do this again or maybe 2 more times depending on the ability to stay under the VA entitlement cap. 

You also have the options of the 2 + 1 which is a 2F with a boarder unit that an owner can live in, but likely can't rent after you leave so it's only a temporary solution depending on how stringent the municipality is.Your VA gives you lots of options, but you won't cash flow if you use at 0 percent down because rates are too high.

It depends on the LTV, type of loan, whether it is rate and term or cash out refi, and some other details, but that's not crazy.
