I poured my life saving into it and make it a duplex.

At 3 years none of the costly items have hit their end of life.  

Life is financially good even without doingSelf Storage.

A FHA 203k Loan is where the purchase price and rehab costs are rolled into a single loan.The downside of using FHA or a FHA 203k is you will need to live there, for a minimum of one year (to satisfy FHA Requirements); AND because you closed personally, you will not have Asset Protection, in the form of closing in the name of a LLC.

They not only went to our office, but also the personal residences of myself and Kevin Bupp.

It’s important to recognize that your landlord likely isn’t thinking about selling the property right now, especially given their personal circumstances.

I was just surprised that a Spaniard would make the comparison you made.It's a fact of life that some people hate to be contradicted and can't make the difference between a discussion over a specific matter and a personal attack (I'm taking in general here).

I'm on house number 4 that I've lived in and renovated, so I agree that's a good strategy (I've done it just through life, not actually a purposeful strategy). 

I just have worked with AC all my life so I expected to be able to save that money.   

If someone injures themselves and sues, they will be suing the LLC and not you personally.
