You have some good advice on diversification above from @Stephen E Drew.

Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Shibashis Dutta we've not only got clients from Canada, but also from around the world.We've very familiar with setting up the proper USA tax options for foreign clients:)Thanks.

Lease Management - Avail.co, Apartments.com, Buildium, TenantCloud,  - many others - they can List For Rent, Schedule Showings, Provide Applications, Screen Tenants, Setup Leases, Setup and Manage Rent Payment, and other things (keep track of maintenance, keep track of expenses and make reports for accountants etc) Tenants like it because its online and makes it clear what they need to do - This also helps answer Drews question to you. - Showing a property - I have less to say on this one, looking for ideas myself.

Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Conrado Balicusto Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, then figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Quote from @Drew Sygit: investors need to understand what they are investing in, not just look at numbers and assume. 

@Drew Sygit thank you for your input!

Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Peri Reischel and @Noah BaconThe challenge for any PMC is trying to keep ALL their owners happy - despite owners having various approaches to maintenance ranging from:1) Slumlord2) Over-improving like they will live thereOur best approach to all this is to, "Maintain to the Neighborhood". 

@Drew Sygit Oh wow! 

Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Luke Eastman what's probably more important, is to speak with an estate planning attorney.Your mother should probably have a Trust, to avoid the properties having to go through probate when she dies.As part of the Trust, the estate planner may recommend an LLC or not.  

Quote from @Drew Sygit: @James McGovern we've evicted both and there's not really any difference.
