As for the loans, you can benefit from owner occupied FHA as Benjamin mentioned above.

We all are human and want to give people the benefit of the doubt but the longer you wait = the longer till you get paid.

It is accurate that Hilton MGT. only allows owners to use the unit for 21-days/yr, while the rest of the 344 days, it will be generating income for you.The Hilton Convention Center and Branson Landing Condos offer benefits like garage parking, close proximity to restaurants and attractions, and beautiful locations, some units with lake views.Monthly dues are $300+/ mo. and those dues include things like:Building InsuranceCommon Area MaintenanceSwimming Pool & Exercise RoomLawn Care / LandscapingSecurity ServiceTrash ServiceWhat makes these deals so difficult to pencil out is their management fee of 50%, which is significantly higher than the typical range of 15% to 40% in Branson.

For personal reasons I cannot manage my own properties and I don’t have enough doors to employ a person and provide a salary and benefits they deserve.

So long as each LLC does not own more than two residential dwelling properties, or more than four dwelling units total, the LLC may require two month’s rent as security deposit.Although elsewhere I have expressed the opinion that placing each rental unit into its own LLC is maybe not necessary for limiting liability, if an investor is subject to the new security deposit limitations, the idea of limiting the number of dwelling units in any LLC to four rental units, now has an added benefit of allowing the LLC to require higher security deposits.Below is the pertinent portion of the statute:(4) (A) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a landlord may not demand or receive security, however denominated, in an amount or value in excess of an amount equal to two months’ rent, in addition to any rent for the first month paid on or before initial occupancy if the landlord meets both of the following requirements:(i) The landlord is a natural person or a limited liability company in which all members are natural persons.
