@Minji KimRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which is VERY important for stable rental income and low property maintenance/damage.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

You could be creating unnecessary paperwork, headache, admin responsibilities, etc.This is more of a legal question, but typically I would think for a holding company you would want to list yourself as the manager of the holding company.

Steve, typically it is not worth it. however it depends.

Short term rates were 5.5 percent, two and a half points higher than what cash typically pays.  

I have most of my tenants through local mental health/addiction services, and those tend to be better than the randoms from craiglist, as they typically have a case manager to check up on them occasionally...

Having a 30 person rental, from my experience, can move you away from the more typical rentals (single family).

On the rare occasion I answer, I typically waste their time.

The tenants of whom you will be looking often can't buy their own home right now, otherwise, they wouldn't be utilizing this agreement, which typically is more complicated and costs them more.

SFR will initially produce zero income (unless you rent rooms or until you move out.)typically investors that consistently buy multiple homes a year are experienced in the REI game with lots of connections and access to cash. not always. but more often than nothappy to discuss your investing goals more

So I guess overall, my question is can you help me align my expectations with what I am finding, is this a case of "yeah, the market is weird right now, this is typical, you have to make a decision" or...
