I wouldn't recommend this for research purposes. 

While the image of yours I found seem to show the main entry to the 2nd floor at ground level, the older the prospective tenant, the less interested they are in a non-ground floor unit. 2) Using another part of the property as storage could limit interest and I could see that as a turn off with folks once they find this out.FYI, the listing I found on realtor.com makes no mention of the tenant not having access the entire property or the basement being used as storage.

All investments and assets are in the name of the special purpose LLC instead of "name of custodian FBO Jim Bob's IRA".5.

Do you think a duplex is generally a better investment than a single-family home for rental purposes?

@Devin James I definitely agree with your main point.

I mainly bought it for the land, do not intend to rent it out for cash flow or what not.It is currently occupied by the previous owner.

Laminate flooring in main areas with carpet in the bedrooms. 4 bedroom, 2 full baths, and the basement will have a full bath roughed in as well as a wet bar rough in. 1 egress window in the basement for a future bedroom.

If you are based in California or operating an LLC in California you will be required to file an LLC regardless of whether or not it is considered a "Disregarded entity" by the IRS for Federal tax purposes.

Podcasts are also great, bigger pockets podcast is one of the main reasons I'm into real estate.

I have Regrid ( I use it mainly for land), its 10 bucks a month and they have vacant property information they pull from the USPA.
