If keeping things simple is your priority, strong insurance coverage and separate bank accounts for each property can be a solid starting point.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

If I should post in a different forum, or more information is needed, let me know. in columbus if you build multifamily you are entering the market automatically 20-25% below market and you have full control. every property we build we can build so you get 1% rule or better. build to rent development especially direct to builder and bypassing intermediaries like rent to retirement along with well selected land for infill will allow you to scale very quickly.
