I have rarely had truly bad tenants and have never yet had to pay any to leave, but that mindset as a backdrop for negotiations has been useful to me.

Not the most elegant solution but looks pretty decent when painted (rest of kitchen is pretty nice with ss appliances and granite counters - bathrooms are just regular white tiles).  

I still think of it as the "old people, fuddy duddy" apartment complex...right down to the independently owned beauty parlor and café on the first floor (very unusual for my area).The building itself even looks a bit "grandma"...elegant and in great condition, but a bit dated and old fashioned, with heavy Italianate type of architectural features.  

MartinI think thin buildings are elegant in certain settings, and your Japanese examples show that off perfectly.

As far as I can tell (I've personally seen the outside/picture only for the inside) and its not a gut job...its a remove wall paper, paint walls,remove carpet on stairs/lightly sand and refinish floors job with a large lot that would look if 2 nasty trees are removed and includes an elegantly shaped and I believe well maintained pool,  The front steps need pointing but are solid and if I pressure the concrete (all solid) it will look much better. 

With this back drop is it a good idea to form an LLC and direct all of my rental income to the LLC as business income,  are there going to be any tax advantages with this approach.Appreciate your input on this.Thanks

In my head, this is an elegant situation: as long as the numbers work out, my income is irrelevant to a bank since they are guaranteed to be default-free via the escrow account long enough to sell the loan if they wanted to, and over time the value of the house and my income should each be substantially higher.It's not without risk, and it's unorthodox, so it will probably be a struggle to find a lender comfortable with this scenario.  

A silver lining of increased rates, no matter the prevailing market conditions, trends, backdrop etc. is decreased demand.
