Some neat shops and bars there, and a brand new fishing and entertainment pier is scheduled to open this year.Congrats on your STR in Savannah! 

Hey @Keagan Scott, so I don't have any insight into Gary, IN but here is a blurb -"Those looking to rent out their properties for less than 30 days (about 4 and a half weeks) will have to get a permit, pay a one-time $150 fee, and have a city business license.

I have just read a book about this, and a business owner spoke about his employees who would take "multiple taxi trips in one day" or "dine at the most expensive restaurants even when alone" its just something that will happen.

Her credit isn't the greatest, but she's super sweet and a hard worker, so you are certain it will work out.

If you sell a property, capital gains tax applies based on each partner’s ownership share, and a standard 1031 exchange won’t work if proceeds are split, as the exchange requires continuity of ownership in a like-kind investment.One strategy is a drop-and-swap, where the LLC distributes the property to partners as tenants-in-common (TIC) before the sale, allowing each to complete a separate 1031 exchange.

I love how you’ve integrated the lessons from The Fountainhead and Frank Lloyd Wright into your personal and professional journey, especially as you pursue both beautiful design and a growing real estate portfolio.Your ambition to scale up to $20M and beyond is exciting, and I’m sure with your drive, experience, and passion for architecture, you’re on the right path.

Fannie Mae will allow you to transfer the deed to an LLC if you decide to try to go the conventional route, but the loan would still be in your names and you'll need to pay a title company a second time post-closing to do this  for you. 3) I can't speak for the area so no comment there4) If you're self managing, make sure you find vendors you can trust in the area since you won't be able to easily verify if an HVAC guy, plumber, etc. is trying to rip you off and tell you to buy something you don't actually need. 5) Make sure you have clear alignment of goals and a clear operating agreement that spells out what to do if those goals start to not align in the future since you'll be jointly obligated to these properties. 

In addition, you would need enough working capital to pay for insurance (which will be going up a LOT in Los Angeles) and to pay for property taxes.Don't buy this unless you have substantial resources and a cash cushion to keep yourself safe.
