I did all of the work myself and know the ARV's in the area pretty well so that helped. this is like my 8th deal and I analyzed deals for like 3 years before I bought my first property so that has gotten way easier.

If so, does the original seller finance contract need to say "buyer can resell at any time without prepayment penalties"? 

Feel free to call my office and speak with me if you want to look deeper. 

So that’s what I did.

Things are going well so far - I am using Grant Shipman's model (LivingSmith) instead of padsplit, which works great for me.How nice are the neighborhoods you invest in? 

I went in a different direction so no info to offer here.

I have so many questions though.1) Can anyone tell me more about series LLC and whether it's necessary to hold each property in a separate LLC2) What are your thoughts on a trust, rather than an LLC - advantages, disadvantages etc?

I've been at this a while and have over 70% equity in my combined portfolio, and I'm over 50 years of age, so I don't look at creative financing options. 

The appraisal stated one was an office, another was a den and the 3rd was I think called a daylight room. 

I heard that if you move the personal mortgages to an LLC they could get called and we would want to avoid that3.
