Very few people operate their LLC correctly and therfore this just gives them a flase sense of security.Moving into a LLC can also trigger the due on sale clause.

You need to understand that given your situation the asset and operational impact must be absolute minimal, lowest risk exposure possible.

If you operate under an LLC or other business structure, are there tax implications or requirements I should be aware of when paying myself?

I'm the director of operations at Your Tax Team.

In my opinion, the best agents, appraisers, home inspectors, contractors, lenders will utilize AI as a complement towards their existing businesses to spur greater growth and operational efficiencies.

Same thing with Clayton Morris and any other well known operator really. 

But I’d be amiss if I did not suggest that instead you gain knowledge of the aforementioned 3 foundation by studying for a real estate agent/broker license, and then seek employment with REITs, real estate operating companies, real estate managers, or real estate brokers.  

Managing the property yourself can save money, teach you the ropes, and give you firsthand experience dealing with tenants and operations.

Second, you don't want to operate at a net loss, it's money out of your pocket every month and essentially negates your equity gains over time.

Investor focused realtors & Property managers are going to be your biggest asset since they'll be finding your deals & managing the day to day operations for you.
