Rent:income ratio, credit score, Landlord references, identity verification, etc.

Why did the appraiser use this method when identical 4plexs in the same neighborhood sold just a few weeks prior ($700+k)?

We are under contract on one of five spec builds - identical homes on a replatted lot.

for the legal process what I know is it would be good to open an LLC based in Wyoming with a PO box address to protect your Identity. then open another LLC within that Wayoming LLC but it should be based on the state your property is in. this way if you are sued the LLC is legal to do business in that state. you can open these small LLCs for each property your buy so if you ever get sued you will never lose all of your properties.....

No evictions, undischarged bankruptcies, or major felonies (anything violent, burglary, possession of a forged instrument, or identity theft).  

Is the coverage identical in both, including square foot replacement costs?

I personally know someone here in TN that had an almost identical situation to you.

At a minimum, sell prior to three years and buy an identical house.

Maybe where you invest there are several “identical” neighborhoods that are performing different.

In terms of enforcement if several potential tenants apply some being Hispanic, African American, Asian or Transgender/Gay and they all have identical perfect credit or near-perfect credit because they are all working for the fair housing board and not real tenants and the landlord picks the white applicant who was not first to apply that would show clear discrimination under this law and the landlord would face sanctions.
