Putting a property into an LLC should have no effect whatsoever on your taxes.

I put no trust whatsoever in proformas.

House hacking is also a great way to cut your teeth in real estate, even if that just means renting out a larger space and subleasing rooms out to keep your living costs low.

Like I said, I have no issues whatsoever with either tenant other than the tenant who pays rent and is the only person on the lease wanting the other tenant out

We both want to be sure that he has no stake whatsoever in the new property if they happen to part ways down the road.  

I am just cutting my teeth as a buy and hold investor. 

That loan was actually written BY an attorney....and obviously, he no longer represents me in any transaction whatsoever.

If I could, I would...but it's like pulling teeth....Now, if YOU know somebody who covers Fl, GA, AL, and MS, or one in each state, Id like to talk to them....In the meantime, let me ask everybody this....As investors yourself, why not cut out the middleman, get your own license, put in the year or two experience required by your state, get your broker's license, and sell them to yourself?

Additionally, I had a fire in one upper and that produced water damage in the lower, THEN kicked in the teeth with a move-out - - ALL in the same month. 

They performed 20 hours of work and I receive no communication whatsoever until now??
