I feel that it balances risk while enabling easier administration.  

If they decide that investing out if state would enable them to meet those goals than investing in state, then that is what they should do.  

Thant way signs of wer and tear or even abuse will not be as noticeable, enabling a longer life for the cabinets.Generally, the type of tenant and rental amount should guide you with the correct cabinet selection.

I love the variety of topics out there in the RE world, and they've all sparked my curiosity intensely.On a more personal side of things, I'm a musician, have a huge interest in meditation/Buddhism/East Asian philosophy, and have also been teaching myself programming/software development in the recent months. 

I don't buy blindly I build a local trusted team . . . they do the leg work, big portion of the DD and enable me (us) to buy sight-un-seen (we do travel to see/check but we have created a system that it is not required to do so, but a bonus if you do).

They are small (125 units currently) and this enables them to know every owner as well as every tenant by name. 

The advantage of investing in multi-housing is that it helps you reach your investment goals faster; It enables you to purchase two or more doors with one loan generating more cash flow, there is less competition among buyers and if you purchase 5 units or more you can get a commercial loan which offers more flexibility in financing.So if, for example, your goal is to become financially independent with a specific number to help you do that, buying multi-housing can significantly reduce the time to complete that goal.

If you put them under the LLC with your traditional loans, then the due on sale clause enables the lender to accelerate the balance of the loan.

If you posted to get us to commiserate with you, instead of to ask for advice, you are in the wrong place.All this talk of win/win is great, but if you allow the tenant to play you without consulting an attorney and knowing your rights, and acting on them, you are simply enabling them to play you that much more.

This enables them to control their own coverage to make certain it remains current and in force- so they’ll have it when they need it.
