If you are creating an LLC for your investments, how does one (eventually) use the income made on investments as personal finance without blending the two?

As with any portfolio, I suggest a blend of both.

On that, be careful that you don't invest in a market that is hot right now but is about to soften.While my PM did generously cut me some slack on the re-leasing fees more than once, even that accommodation did not salvage the situation into a positive ROI.My primary takeaway is to make sure you prepare financially for the worst-case-scenario and only cherry-pick deals that have the biggest margins.Another takeaway for me would be to perhaps consider blending financed deals and cash deals.

@Monica Bartra Linares Most lenders in this group would have access to some form of hard money but a true hard money lender should close <72 hours, have the capability to move fast, and make the lending process as seamless as possible@Owen Dashner is the best HML out there period.

And if you want a nice blend of appreciation and rental returns, Frederick MD is your absolute best choice. $300-$400k can get you a nice rowhouse, in a GREAT area, walkable to downtown.

Hello @Cristopher Hanks,Depending on how much you need and want to pull out, we would pull out the blended rate calculator to see what the numbers say.

In my experience, for the paint issue, these days it is simple enough to get "computer matched" paint that will blend properly in the middle of the wall; or, as another poster mentioned, you can just paint one wall, corner to corner, after properly patching the mounting holes.

And then we have 5 counties all blending seemlessly together to a metro area of about 1.6 million people, which actually is growing (like Corina said, the IL exodus is one reason).

How do I create a seamless transition of management for both myself and the tenant? 

All fees are paid from proceeds so you're really looking at 100% financing with a blended rate somewhere in the mid to high single digits depending on what you can obtain from the commercial lender.Speaking of the commercial lender, we've seen many deals fall apart because an investor never confirmed or verified that they could utilize Gap Funding (in the way I present here, or any of the above) for the down payment/equity portion.
