Places where they go for privacy, where everything is top notch....just how they like it.

I tell tenants I am the owner and I have no issues with that from a privacy standpoint.

Bear in mind these items are held in public record so you are not violating privacy by disclosing information found in public record on BP posts - it is already private.  

The test usually given on whether a recording is an invasion of privacy is the expectation of privacy. 

When I asked him about copies of the leases, he told me that it was against privacy laws to show me them until after closing. 

We think we could, you could set up the possibility of privacy issues, or, at least that’s been our fear.

., which is not quite as simple with a land trust.The only two reasons I would ever suggest a land trust instead of an LLC would be, as people mentioned above, privacy, BUT, (1) that can be achieved with certain state LLCs, like Wyoming or Delaware anyway, and (2) most investors honestly don't care.

Depending on parking, privacy and finishes I'm seeing rents in the $1-$1.25/sq ft range. 2) New construction and fully renovated homes with 5-6 bedrooms are going for $1.4-$2m depending on the street.

I personal enjoy perusing duplex + units due to a slight safety net of vacancy,  depends on your financial capabilities, credit, hunger to drive forward and grow will sort of help you determine which way you would like to go, single family units tend to have more long term tenants vs multi due to room, privacy and other factors, hope this was some help.
