@Travis Timmons thank your for sharing these details in your personal experience.

@Jason Lopez You don’t need an LLC to rent out a house in San Antonio, TX, but it can provide liability protection by separating your personal assets from your rental property.

Personally, I like to use Notion for this type of task, but I'm sure there will be others on here that will recommend Monday.com, ClickUp, or Asana.

Like @John Underwood said, your cleaner and handy person can be of great help getting things done.

The person in the response above who got crushed by a $5000 repair never did have $100-200/mo. cashflow.

I'd personally sell the townhouse (doesn't sound like it cashflows or would make a good rental property) - you may have no capital gains if you have lived in it the past 2 out of 5 years - I believe the first 250k for single filers is exempt from taxes and the first 500k for married couples.

There's no clear-cut answer IMO, it's a personal decision.  

I personally again in my opinion only.. but these guys could be fake lenders.. for sure HML  do not have a requirement that they can only lend to a corp..

Instead of debates and personal opinion, look for proof https://www.ladbs.org/docs/default-source/forms/plan-check-2017/single-family-dwelling-duplex-plan-review-list.pdf under G (Interior Env) which defines the minimum requirement of a habitable room (aka bedroom or bathroom).

I second this, I use rentredi for my personal properties and it makes life super easy.
