(Keep in mind there are Fannie Mae maximums on the number of personal loans you can have - which is 10 per person.

And I agree you'll probably feel a lot better having your rentals in your backyard.

Personal finance is as much behavioral as it is math.

Quote from @Havital Miltz: I do not know that if someone is in the hospital you can force them to close, I am not an attorney, but I doubt any court will find in your favor, closings do not always happen exactly on the day that is planned, even if everyone is healthy and well, the wholesaler here is not the reason for the delay so I am not sure what exactly you can sue him/her for, they are also being held up due to the seller not being wellJust give the person some time to get out of the hospital, closing will probably not happen the very next day either, this is really extenuating circumstance.

My wife and I feel real estate is a great catalyst to get us there.

The first is that there's no consensus between tax professionals, and the second is that you will not like my personal interpretation.My interpretation is:Until the property is "placed in service" - everything goes into basis.Illustration.You buy a property July 1st.You finish rehab November 1st and put the property on the market.Your tenant moves in January 15th.The property was placed in service November 1st, and it does not matter that the tenant did not move in until the next year.Everything paid between July 1st and November 1st, including interest and utilities, goes into basis.

Liability Protection: An LLC provides legal separation between your personal and rental property assets, which can protect personal assets if a lawsuit arises.

So the question becomes based on their individual and personal tax situation what is the estimated tax burden they'd save? 

You're right there that's not a single platform that does everything but I feel like Baselane comes close to it.
