You'll find much greater difference in $$$$$ by refining your location/rehab/vacancy strategies instead of worrying about "how much it costs to borrow money" in this environment.Nearly all of my clients are more concerned with a simple and headache-free funding process, than the "lowest rate."

It's completely legal, very simple but powerful.

I really believe in my hometown and have a good grasp on it so up until now- I have simple bought whatever I could as soon as the bank would give me a mortgage.

I agree with the keep it simple thinking.

It's tough to swallow, but if it's not renting, it's likely as simple as the market won't bear the price you're asking.

Seems like too much work for too little return UNLESS you own the property, or perhaps have an option to purchase the property allowing you to capture any increase in value.   

Even simple things like making sure each photo on Airbnb has Alt text and that is fits into their SEO categories, I was surprised that more people weren't aware of it. 

Just have one LLC for all your properties for the most simple/easiest way to buy investments (not an attorney and not legal advice). 

No kidding this is as simple as it gets.. just advertise that you accept shorter term leases and riase your price.. we have been doing it in Vegas for years..

Somehow, I had it in my head that I didn't want to do a cost seg, I like to keep things simple and cost seg seemed not worth it, so I have been investing for over a decade before we did the first.
