These are distinctions with no difference.

That's the distinction between title companies and QIs. 

For those of you looking to break into the market, here’s a breakdown of the area.The Atlanta area can be separated into two distinct categories…..inside the perimeter (ITP) or outside the perimeter ( OTP).

For example, if you have rental properties in multiple states then you probably want a distinct LLC in each, and this way they all feed into the same entity, which makes things easier.

So like how excited you are on your different models that you learned about and replicated we are really looking forward to the roll out once out of beta.. and for a price Everyone can afford.. and even with that I know right now that only maybe 20% of those that buy it will even do anything with it.. that's just human nature but there are going to be folks across the country with a very distinct advantage over their competition ..what everyone does that send direct mail to the same  the lists of properties that are easily found and easily marketed to along with 500k other investors..

Would it be possible to create a separate LLC for a "Gym franchise", and include every future home gym under it, given that each are located distinct from the house (i.e. a single car garage)?

@Ersi Bice  you need to make the distinction between and investment and a business.if your going into the  ghetto and or hood you need to be in the business of running rentals. if you think your going to make an investment in these properties and sit back and collect rent well then you probably not going to have happy day and chances are you will lose most if not all of your investment..If you choose to go into the business of running low end rentals then put a business plan together the team together and go big.. you need to have 100's of doors to so you can spread your loss's over the entire portfolio.. because you will take loss's.. the Ghetto and hood populations are extremely transient by nature.. ( you can get the long term tenant) but that's not the norm... so your dealing with a lot of turn over.The other issue is security of your properties.. if you don't have near police state type security your properties will get stripped of anything of value within a very short time.Look up DAWGS systems in Chicago you will see how the rehabbers there need to secure the properties. if you not prepared for this you will get wiped out end of story.

I’ve 1.5x rent, that way they if/when you go to court, there is a clear distinction between the rent and the security deposit.

Whatever direction you decide, make sure your lending is separate and distinct from any real estate owned.

I personally don't think there's much of a distinction between the amount of time it takes to manage a STR remote vs local.
