Umbrellas are pretty cheap, so I would not try to avoid them.2) This is also a decent option, but I've seen people do 1 house per LLC which seems ridiculous.3) This 1% thing is unlikely to have the benefit you hoped. 

Signed some agreements where it looks like I should not talk about the case on public forums til it is done.He found some things and made adjustments for what appears to be an outcome in my favor. 

It comes out that they made adjustments on October 4th, to a few proeprty ledgers  18 months prior (april 2023).Also they  are trying to claim their 10% fee from the security deposits they are holding for me.They’re now claiming I owe them money that wasn’t owed, it’s only showing as owed beciase of the ledger adjustment referred to earlier.This reeks of fraud to me.

Sure, some absolutely have benefited, S.Korea is a fair example BUT, one can argue it would just be "Korea" today if only MacArthur wasn't planning a run for President there after and ignored Chinas warning and offer of peace to stop with all but total victory, instead pushing to Chinese border, pulling them into it and literally loosing the entire north....

This outcome demonstrated Partner Driven’s ability to identify and execute rapid-turn deals effectively, underscoring the benefits of our partnership with Rod King.

What benefit is paying a coach if you only intend to passively invest.  

If you're planning to live in it long-term and then rent it out later, it could become an investment property, but you won’t have that immediate cash flow benefit.

I benefitted from rent inflation, but I also did some things that would help improve net cash flow (appealing property taxes, for example).Happy to send you some resources with more details on how I accomplished it.

So you can't put the properties into an LLC and benefit from owner occupied financing.
