As a landlord (viewed by tenants as wealthy and deep pockets) you can be held responsible for everything and anything.3 move outs in 2 years tells me that you are not doing a good job at screening.....as a matter of fact you are doing a horrible job.

Sometimes, even a more complicated C-corp is the best choice, and sometimes just a plain LLC.It's like keto enthusiasts eat a high-fat diet and praise its supposed health benefits.

I really don't understand why some people think syndications are only for experienced and wealthy investors. 

Building wealth is cool in that it starts slowly, and can ramp up exponentially over time.For now, though, focus on getting your first house.

I grew up in Lincoln NE doing fix and flip then renting to college kids.I quickly learned about how much turnover and repairs eat into all that rental income.RE is about becoming wealthy over a long period of time and to do that you have to buy stable long term investments with the least amount of problems to deal with along the way.

Jumbo loans for owner occupied may also increase as this group was a profit center for banks who wanted to move towards private banking for the wealthy.

Ugh.I even spoke with an investor who I connected with through BiggerPockets because we both happened to find the same suspicious kind and philanthropic, extremely wealthy human who would love to offer lower rates to borrowers who could not get financing elsewhere. 

BRRRR is how real wealth is built in real estate, whether you apply it to single family homes or 200 unit apartment complexes.Sub-to on the other hand is a fad.

I'd be interested also in talking to an accountant who is an expert on cross-border taxes, if folks have recommendations for someone who is reputable and has that expertise, and who works with middle-class individuals (as opposed to wealthy families or businesses).

Acquiring real estate is one thing - but building AND preserving wealth is the real thing.
