Getting an LLC in place from the start can provide peace of mind and give you a chance to familiarize yourself with the process before expanding your portfolio.

Could I request the same assistance as Deborah?

Groovy @Stephanie Medina good luck and keep us posted on your progress.These sorts of things are problems that no one really things about when buying a property and it is something that should be in their mind.

Keep in mind that you get to depreciate these appliances on your taxes.

So in my mind it would be best used as a last move into a REIT you never sell.  

With an invoice showing "no charge" for fixing the cupboard, this hopefully can't happen again if a contractor changes did mind or has some type of mental lapse.  

Keep in mind that owning rental properties, even if it is a house hack, means operating a business and thus should be treated as one, respectively.

I would generally say no if you don't have a property unless you're looking for peace of mind knowing that you've set your financial life properly. 

Do you mind sharing more information?
