One has to weigh the agent cost vs benefit, make sure there in-line. - 30% of agent are "meahh".

Most of my rates on the investments I currently hold are in mid 4's to low 5's so it is unlikely a refi would benefit me much anytime in the future. 

It's an added benefit that it helps people but not a motivator to me.

Financing considerations include leverage, tax benefits, and property management fees.Good luck!

Be transparent about the risks and potential benefits for both parties.

One just needs to understand how it’s a benefit to all parties and how to negotiate the terms. 

In theory this seemed like a great use of existing space on my properties that were already multi families but In reality the cost benefit did not make sense.

@Robin CastilloStarting an LLC before buying properties offers benefits like liability protection, tax flexibility, and professional image.

In the exploratory phase. 

I’m really early into the research phase but would be prepared to “pull the trigger” over the winter (eg purchasing a property to setup the tents) but ran into a bit of a “wall”.I’m pretty close to Blue Ridge and love the area so have considered a STR there for a while.
