It would be worth exploring all options, and if you are willing to live in a duplex or one of those options, the rate for owner occupied financing isn't 8%, it is closer to 7%.Also, since the market is softer, you could easily ask for a seller credit to buy down the rate closer to the low 6s, and meet somewhere in the middle with a similar mortgage payment as a new build and get something that would be a really good house hack for a family with privacy, garage, etc and get the benefit of renting the other side or ADU.

This home having a pool is huge for summer rentals and rates, also on a privacy fenced 1/2 acre.

I just think there is a trade off that people need to consider, and their credibility shouldn't automatically be questioned if they choose privacy.

The other areas give a little more privacy protections but for local investments, that won't be a huge benefit. 

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

Your now-removed post praising syndicattitions as an answer to maintaining privacy in direct real estate transactions is what inspired my comments.While I'm sure your investors were disappointed with the deals that are on hold your record is better and more extensive than i thought it would be.

On top of that, families have privacy, places to eat together and gather, plus entertainment options right in the home (pools and game rooms). 

@Sandeep Shukla how much time do you have to manage AND learn:1) Fair Housing laws2) Fair Credit Reporting Act3) Consumer Privacy Protection laws4) Local rental ordinances5) State eviction laws and procedures6) Etc...Everyone thinks property management is easy until something goes wrong...

Some states might make you have an LLC in that state for a property.Least protection: No LLCsAnother option within those options is to use REPT (Real estate Privacy Trusts) under the LLCs for different properties.

What I have seen so far as another newb who is probably not much further than 5 minutes ahead of you in the REI journey:It will not matter during the acquisition process (unless you are finding your own off market deals).CONS:-Not great to deal with tenants because of privacy reasons.
