I'm going to utilize this intel.

Property managers typically belong to state or national organizations that continuously update their contracts and processes to maintain compliance.

I have found it is better to use a Broker if possible so they can shop companies, and shop every year vs using a captive agent that can typically only sell their company policies.While it is good to shop, not always good to go with the lowest possible provider on insurance. 

Additionally, if you onboard a new units during the 1 year mentorship you can utilize the team to help you be profitable from jump street.

We ended up putting that on the backburner and using the typical Airbnb, Furnished Finder, Zillow, etc. routes to fill our units.

If you're planning to use an FHA loan or another owner-occupant loan, there are typically rules about tenant occupancy.

Just crunch the numbers and ensure the terms work for your deal.Hard money typically funds up to 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab costs on a draw schedule.

You can - 1) establish a trust for asset protection, 2) utilize the Homestead Exemption for property protection, 3) consider tenancy by the entirety for marital property (this might just be applicable to California, my home state)4) make sure you have adequate liability insurance for additional protection, 5) think about forming a business entity to shield assets, 6) and have proper estate planning for asset distribution.Seek tax and legal advice from experts in your state.

Quote from @Michael Galace: I'm utilizing their service, been with this agency for 5 months now. 

The smart play would be to build a two story wood frame structure on top of piers or concrete block in most cases. 35 feet is a pretty typical height limit in most neighborhoods, so depending on elevation you SHOULD be able to build two stories on top of the elevated foundation.
