Ive found that the more business the brand name brings me far outweighs the split.

The risk does not outweigh the reward.

The wear and tear over the likely 1-2 year tenancy doesn't outweigh the hassle of doing this to turn the place. 3) I just bought the house and the previous owner lived there full time, it's an upscale place, the appliances are nearly new.

It seems ridiculous to worry about the potential liability due to a failed fire extinguisher, when the benefits of providing one clearly outweigh the risks.

If you have higher priced properties, this may be worth the expense and headache.For me, the potential liability issue did not outweigh the headache of 6 LLC, 6 bank accounts, 6 check books, debit cards, etc.  

We'll have to crunch some numbers to see if the benefits of a property in Pigeon Forge outweigh the cost. 

So it begs the question, do the pros outweigh the cons on either side of this?

Yes, the MI would increase the payment but it would not out weigh the benefit of being able to do 3.5-5% for a duplex.

There are a lot of factors to consider when get a cost seg study to determine if the benefits outweigh the costs.

If your properties start producing less income, and your returns from the property can't outweigh your cost of capital, you've now shifted from positive leverage to negative leverage.
