I’m here to gain insight into the investment side of things, and connect with people already familiar.

I've also held of holding properties in individual LLCs that are owned by one S corporation, which allows for a 60 / 40 split between ordinary income (regular tax) and dividends (capital gains tax rate).With the goal of minimizing taxation and liability protection, what would be the recommendation from more experienced people here?

I recently listened to their interview with The Real Estate Guys Radio Show and it's great to have a forum like here where we can hear from people's own experiences.

They make their money off of real estate agents, but real estate agents are the worst people to make money off because they are highly unreliable and in and out of the business when the market changes.Their target should be the consumer with higher levels that they can subscribe too for data, since Zillow is linked to the MLS now which makes their data somewhere more reliable.

So - somewhere 2 hours away, or somewhere you like to vacation in, or where all your family lives, or where you plan to move someday.Too many people are trying to do exactly what you're doing - pick a market based on a formula - and they end up buying a random 'cheap' property thousands of miles away, turn it over to people they've never met or even spoken to, and then... lose money.  

I have had people asking me about burning out @Byron Umana, but I just don't.

Let your criteria do the filtering for you.Regarding retention and renewals, the only time I have asked people to leave is when they have had rent payment issues and/or damaged the property. 

This simple act of understanding can make or break the deal.Patience Pays: Results-driven but people-focused.

I know Hunter is busy, but it seems like something more needs to be in place for people that have just onboarded, though maybe I'm just not being patient enough as I'm sure they onboarded a surge of people in conjunction with the really excellent production.  

Think about it, why do people do Airbnb........make more money, however they have higher vacancy rates, and more management required.
