@Marc Zak Using an LLC for each property provides strong liability protection by isolating risks to individual assets, with income and expenses flowing through to your personal taxes on Schedule E.

Investing in  2-4 unit properties within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex would be ideal but I am also interested in other potential deals, that fall within the 2-4 unit range.

We have many efficincies under management with a ~10% vacancy rate with prices ranging from 485-625 depending on location property quality and amenities.

I'm looking for neighborhood recommendations in the Sarasota area for a short/mid-term single family or townhome investment in the 400k-500k range.

Asking price was 1 million but was by far the best deal we had found in the same price range.

I have helped several investors recently acquire single family homes around the $400K price point that rent in the $2,200-$2,350 range.

@Jordan Brown It might be difficult to find properties in your price range unless you're willing to house hack.

Personally I will not work with them specifically due to this fee.

But it sounds like you should also balance your decision on what fits you and your families preference and style since you will be using it personally. 2.

With $50K and a DSCR loan, your budget will likely cap at properties in the $150K-$170K range, depending on the closing costs and any repairs needed.
