Paying interest is better than not being able to access your money unless you can comfortably take a 100k swing in your finances.

If you have access to a line of credit on your primary home, that could be a good option.

For anything outside of a landlord tenant matter, how will the structure stop someone from filing a claim regardless of whether there is or is not merit?  

The lifetime access fee for the training is nearly $3000.

Quote from @Andy Port: I'm currently looking to take some money out of traditional investments and begin investing directly into real estate as a passive investor on syndicated deals.The internet is pretty much copy-paste with advice on how to access real estate and defaults to saying "Just invest in a REIT - its the same" except you pay for the entire pool of existing properties (even if they have low yields in less opportunistic areas), the entire management team's multi-million dollar salary and their private jet, etc...

And you can tailor it to you, so 1) You certainly don't have to charge 100% while vacant (dependent on bldg. layout, thermostat access, etc.) and 2) You can tailor the Gas/Electric as you have brought up so maybe 50/50 all except 60 unit 1/40 unit 2 for electricity... etc. 

Cash-Out Limits: How much equity can you access?

Whether they are right or wrong about the mold they will not stop and will continue to give your grief. 

People may not like their landlords but they need to stop for a minute and think what it would be like if there were no landlords.

There are companies that can do this for you.Having the property in your name will not stop you from taking a loss on your taxes, you don't need to move it to an LLC to accomplish that.
