It offers flexibility as a landlord to be able to offer more or less rooms as needed, protection to the landlord in that you can hedge with adding LTR or STR to the mix, and simplification to the business as your only dealing with one address.

It’s like becoming a landlord and real estate broker investor on training wheels. 

hi all i am a new landlord and got my first rental property. tenants moved in in September and October. the first month was fine but when December hit it got extremely cold and the heating is electric. due to poor insulation in the home that we did not know about the heat has to be turned very high up to keep the home warm, however since everything is electric it is causing the electric bill to be $800. the utilities are the tenants responsibility. however because of this one of the tenants has been extremely non compliant with paying rent.

I have looked for examples of landlords that were protected by their LLC and always come up empty handed.

Learn the landlord laws intimately before jumping in, and find a landlord mentor with experience.

So you want to be a landlord/investor focused agent huh?

Since I am super new to this, I do have a few questions:By testing the list, do you mean what data am I pulling (absentee owner, tired landlord, etc)Testing my mailer, do you mean trying different messaging?

If I was truly concerned with property age I wouldn't be an investor or a current landlord. 

My kids are a bit older now and it would be more realistic to be able to allocate the necessary time to being a landlord. 

I'm presently a facilities engineer by trade, who does some construction and maintenance for landlords on the side, hoping to get back into the private real estate game.
