Legal Entity Considerations: Should I hold my rental properties in an LLC or trust for liability and tax benefits, or does it not make a difference for me?

They can provide training and help you close.

While I have not done a deal with them, their agreement requires a close timing that simply will not work with conventional lenders (usually 7 days or so).  

If a dishwasher is 15 years old and the tenant destroys it, you can't really charge them much because the appliance is beyond the life expectancy.To learn how to determine charges for cleaning and repairs, you can read my book in my signature, Brandon Turner's Managing Rental Properties, or NOLO's Every Landlord's Legal Guide.

So, if you fail to apply the correct assumptions to a property, your expectations won’t be met and it may even be a financial disaster.We use the following to rank Property Classes, in order of importance:Property Tenant Pool: closely linked to location, but not always.Property Location: closely linked to tenant pool, but not always.Property Condition & Amenities: it’s important to, “Maintain to the Neighborhood.”Key metrics for each Property Class:Class A Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores 680+, no convictions/evictions in last 7 years.

There are many ways to scheme a decent credit score though rebuilding closing acccounts etc. 

I was a Realtor when I purchased it in 2019 and I used my commission towards the closing costs and I am a U.S.

Do I need to choose a location close to home or farther away?

I was asked to be a guest speaker more than a few times for a mentoring program out of Houston/Dallas which name  I am not at liberty to reveal for legal reasons.
