i just didnt want my customers thinking we were trying to slip something past them.

Also, in general, would an appraiser likely aim to provide favorable results to keep you as a repeat customer?

While I understand the need to protect our services as realtors, rentals are small potatoes. 

Make sure this is the right track before making your life more difficult.An LLC is useful for two things: anonymity and legal protection.

An LLC is used to hold business assets.A house-hack is a partial personal property / business property.You also have to separate business and personal assets within an LLC.So the question is would you be getting the protection that you are looking for by putting an asset that is partially personal within an LLC.You might also be losing your homestead exemption.Best of luck.

Most people use LLC for liability and asset protection, not necessarily tax benefit. 

This gives you recourse if the buyer stops making payments as you can have the courts enforce this performance deed and transfer ownership back to you.Just make sure you have a competent REAL ESTATE attorney review the documents prior to signing them to ensure that everything is properly worded to ensure you are protected.  

Most notable cost basis, debt service, cap ex schedule, accounting, checking account oversight for ease of transactions, property tax tracking and trends, custom KPIs and modeling. 

We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

This strategy not only protects your profits but also provides a significant advantage in building wealth through real estate.To recap, seller carry financing and creative deal structuring have been instrumental in my real estate investment journey.
