@Melissa Odom - it's a pretty wild west territory with DSCRs, some allow LLC, some allow trusts, some require LLC, some not.

I could have started with a duplex or triplex, living in one unit while renting out the others, which would have allowed me to leverage the power of compounding and real estate appreciation.

always allow the market to tell you how much a home is worth instead of going with what you think a house is worth Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Major drawback was the starter plan did not allow you to customize a lease.Avail had very basic functionality and was missing features such as income verification.They all require a fee for ACH and Credit/Debit, but Inaggo and TurboTenant allow for offline payments such as Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle. 

Use your BAH base allowance for housing.2.  

In our experience as a property management company, we allow owners to use home warranties, but they are required to coordinate directly with the warranty company themselves.The main issue we’ve seen is that home warranties can significantly delay even simple repairs.

Proceeds could be reinvested in better-performing assets across multiple doors.Our goal is to build appreciation over cash flow, acquiring 1-4 doors/year to allow my wife to retire by 50.

I just find that they aren't worth it because of all the edits you have to make on the spreadsheet to get the same result, and one of the softwares refused to allow Journal Entries which seemed like a huge red flag to me. 

Mostly you're going to see that on high end expensive homes, where sellers only allow pre-qualified individuals to tout their homes.  

State not only allows but makes policies to force counties to comply but counties DO resist and purposely make the process very difficult.
