It's not a defeat as a landlord to try to keep a quality tenant in place without unnecessary court battles or vacancies.

The phrase including "fake news" was really unnecessary so please accept my apologies if you felt I was discrediting you.

Learning how to do these things also clues you in to when a contractor is saying you need unnecessary work.

I want, among other things, zero unnecessary regulation and a fast and cheap eviction process.

For beginning investors it is a unnecessary expenses that more than anything only provides a warm and fuzzy protection.Once you have employees a LLC would be advised. 

If you must go with your friend you need to put a lot into making this a success through effective and efficient management, eliminating unnecessary expenses and wastage in order to increase your income, cash flow and asset value. 

Plus most deals are not on MLS, I have to retrieve them myself through marketing and then ask him for comps.The other hand to that is the reality that agents may need to follow ethical codes that are unnecessary as a straight investor.

No then it's unnecessary cost to you for a less than stellar tenant.

IMO, having seperate LLCs for every property deal is just plain crazy, totally unnecessary and has absolutely no real value in limiting any liability whatsoever that can not be accomplished with insurance.You'll also have the issue of keeping at arms length between these LLCs as a single member or very limited member LLC.
