Probably a small % growing into a larger % into years end peaking in Oct24.  

As far as why I was considering an LLC - it seems like there's two camps, those who think it's a necessity for legal protection, especially as you grow in unit count, and those who think it's mainly a waste of time and money.

It would be an adjustable rate starting at current rates about 7%, with rates hopefully coming down through the next year, if I bought a quadplex in Toledo that i'm currently looking at for $380k, it would be grossing me $4250 a month with a payment back to Chase of about $2200, still in the green after insurance, property taxes and management fees, and the money i'm borrowing against will still be invested HOPEFULLY continuing to grow with the current stock market.Anyone ever bought a property with an SBL?

I would suggest just that, house hack a 4plex for cash flow, and save for your second creative finance deal and grow from there.The idea here is you should be paying zero for your roof (or close to) before buying a second property.
