. - Have seen many investors create their own LLC and use their name & address:(- Only works if you put a property in LLC when you purchase.

Literally the same thing everyone has said to me my entire life about why you shouldn't buy real estate now.    

This will increase the return above what can be obtained on a passive investment.The flipside of having the power to control everything is that it can be alot of work (and a full-time job if a person is putting in sweat equity).

A bit about me: I'm committed to learning the ins and outs of the market, and I'm not afraid to roll up my sleeves and work hard.

The property originally appraised at $475k when we purchased, $115k more than we paid, after our hard work the property appraised for $550k and we refinanced to repeat on another property.

Say:"I work with a team that has successfully helped homeowners like you.

Works for many agents but those are all miserable (in my opinion) and I don't do any of them.With you avg prices around $360k (and maybe 2.5% or so your side), you really only need to do about six transactions to hit your target.

It is working as intended. 

A STR is a completely different animal in my opinion, in that it requires more work and much more compromise, but financially is worth the effort.
