I work full-time as a software engineer in the defense industry.

You are right, your roof is the first line of defense to the elements.

what happened to us is we were in trail and the defense proved the county tax collector blew it and only advertised for 19 days..

I will chime in here in defense of @Engelo Rumora and @Dominique Osbourne.

There are going to be predators lurking, just get yourself heavily familiarized with what you're doing, protect yourself defensively and go on the offensive. 

As long as you carry adequate insurance, as a landlord this means at least $1-2 million GL or umbrella per occurrence plus defense costs, the LLC's "protection" is never going to come into play.

I think this will be more helpful to some OPs too because it seems that when we go on an attack that says or implies fraud the buyers of these mentorship’s become extremely defensive and feel a strong need to defend their (ridiculous) investment.  

Finding for the defense. 

Thus, it now more important than ever to ensure you are utilizing professionals that provide adequate documentation and audit defense for all real estate tax deductions and credits that are on your tax return.

(I sue Behr Scuff defense and its tough and super wipeable)I would get loctite glue and glue in those pesky furniture screws that keep coming loose.
