I don't have any restrictions on pets with the exception of 2 things: no dogs under the age of 1, and breeds listed on my insurance policy that are not accepted. 

IMO, BP is definitely experiencing some growing pains. 

This is a major reasons bay area investors look in the midwest in faster growing cities. 

However, some investors don't mind this strategy if they prefer not to put a lot of liquid in up front and plan to refi out within a few years of closing (which seems to be a great option with the talks of the FED reducing interest rates into 2025).It really comes down to investing in a growing market, in a good neighborhood & building a great team to support you.

I've been listening to many BP real estate podcasts over the last few months and did some research on this area and it doesn't seem like the economy in the area is growing.

If you’re looking to grow your portfolio and boost your cash flow, you might want to look into turnkey rental properties.

Some lenders looks at age of the company and revenue (e.g. business line of credits) hence single LLC may be easier.

One of the 800 economists who work there may have told them that since they decreased the M2 money supply by 4% over the last 2 years and currently now growing at only 1.26% not the pre-covid 6%, that they have stalled the plane, so forget the soft landing, get ready for some CHOP.

So happy to connect with likeminded individuals as we learn & grow together.

If you're considering establishing an LLC for your rental property, it's a smart move for liability protection, especially as you plan to grow your real estate portfolio.
