@Jade Frank I agree with what @Dominic Mazzarella and others are saying here, but If you find the downside outweighs the gain and you ultimately decide to sell the property, Since the property was held for investment use it would qualify for a 1031 exchange. 

Step 3: Compare build plans / specs to decide what you want to build.

Instead of refinancing our portfolio, decided to sell our holdings that were out of state to capitalize on the stellar appreciation.

Two of them decided to move out in December without informing me.

We decided to do a full rehab to get nearly double the rent ($2900)and increase the ARV to $260k.  

We decided to go with a DSCR in the LLC name to help protect our personal assets… We are near closing which has taken WAY too long in my opinion… (we are on month 3 with 3 extensions)…Regardless, at this point 2 of the 4 of us in the partnership are being asked to sign as guarantors of the loan…1 Is this normal?

I haven’t decided if I wanted to start with a turnkey property, or a property that’s in need of mid/minor rehabs.  

The combination of its growing tech & healthcare sector, long-term resilience to climate change, and relative affordability makes it an interesting place to start our real estate journey.I spent a big part of my career in hospitality real estate consulting at a Big 4 firm, but I left to explore new opportunities and decided it was finally time to take the leap into real estate investing.

, 2) it manages the properties directly so there are many hands in the cookie jar, and 3) how/when/impact if "they" decide to liquidate properties and what would be the exact impact to me? 

Giovanni, Congrats on deciding to go to the next level.
