Start by using a land trust and transfer the deed to your LLC later, once you’ve acquired a few more properties.If you’re willing to move and remodel, consider getting a 30-year loan on your next property.

When the tenant moves out and the funds are distributed either to the tenant or the landlord for damages, then the subaccount for that specific tenant has a zero balance and that subaccount is closed. 

Move into the house for a while (there are spare rooms) and get a better idea of what is going on.

If you don’t mind moving somewhat frequently this is a great way to start your portfolio.

It's a fairly unregulated space (charging grandma $750 to puts around for 3 hours, after moving the old box from the horizontal sensor, which was the only problem with the garage door to begin with), so some combination of carefully reading reviews (you have to actually read them to make sure it's not 200 fake reviews), and maybe not giving them the full contract all at once, is in order. 

We had to move fast and initially decided to sell it, the relator who was helping us somehow convinced us we should make it a rental property......... and let her be our tenant (insert face palm here) so since we had no real estate experience and we were already moved away, we agreed.

It’s gotten me seriously considering bringing an attorney in-house to handle evictions and other legal needs moving forward.I’m evaluating this from two angles:Cost Efficiency: With the expense as high as it is, having in-house counsel could potentially reduce costs over time.

@Sam Sala Can you provide the update did you guys move forward, did you choose to go with other builders, if so who?

Quote from @Kody Smith: I am New-ish to Bigger Pockets, and would love to connect with the community here.The idea: move from single family homes into commercial real estate... specifically multi family.The Goal: generate $20k/mo in cash flowI'm currently in silicon valley (san jose)... would love to find something profitable here, but it looks like there are better opportunities elsewhere.I am open to investing in markets across the US.

If the latter, simply give her the notice required (eg 30 or 60 days) that she needs to move.
