I will actually be up in NYC in April so we could also connect in person before you come down.

Under any scenario, any state, someone who sits on their rights and lets someone get into the weeds to the benefit of the person who sat on their rights, will NOT have those "rights" enforced by the courts.  

Quote from @Peter Tverdov: Think at least for the text standpoint it is challenging in this market now where I know personally 3 people that have been in lawsuits with one ringing in at $500,000 for cold text messages to people that did not want to be marketed to, so to @Jonathan Greene point on that for sure.I think that cold calling is a true skill that really no one (or 1%) will end up doing, and I 100% agree that VAs do not do it right..

Hi Bruce, i'll start by saying i'm a mortgage person, so please understand the context in which my response is coming from. you'd need to create CC&Rs/bylaws and establish an HOA in order to do this.

Market timing, properly acquired property, personal capital available How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Or can you still run everything through your personal return (just want to make sure that I can deduct things such as HOA fees which I can do if it is a rental).2) If I do decide to run everything thru my personal tax return (save on LLC fees), should I at the least set up a separate bank account to track costs separately?

As a person who has lived in NC & SC and Phoenix, I would highly suggest AZ.

I have purchased many homes in the past as personal residences and always with the help of an agent.  

Now if there is truly a value add element to the property, the ultimate value (price) is in the eye of the beholder (buyer).

Most DSCR lenders actually prefer you to own the property in an LLC, although some do allow you to close in a personal name.
