The LLC just protects you and your assets from a injury claim from a renter. 

They also have preferred relationships with lenders.Unlike the firms more commonly referred to as "turnkey" operators, however, Roofstock does not renovate properties before sale, nor do they run in-house property management.The upsides seem to be that:Their marketplace lets you search, filter, and analyze many properties across the Roofstock markets more efficiently than any single turnkey operator or marketer doesTheir properties do not carry the typical turnkey markups, which may leave a bit more meat on the bone (these tend to be rental properties owned by institutional investors)The provide much more complete and useful data in their proformas, with the ability to easily tweak assumptionsThe downsides seem to be that:Properties are provided as-is and likely haven't had a complete renovation, so repairs and CapEx may be higher with their properties (though they do disclose details and expected useful life on big ticket items like the roof and key mechanicals)You lose the "one neck to choke" benefit of turnkeys, though they do assign advisors who are available to assist you throughout the process of closing on the homeIf you are familiar with Homeunion, Investability, or Mashvisor, they are all worth a look for comparison.

I think that their reason is that I could get insurance, fake an injury, and get paid.In your case, I think that you'll find the majority of contractors don't have work comp.

2 hours is a pain in the neck but you CAN check up on it when needed. 

We would never bad mouth respectable PM companies, but there are a few in our neck of the woods we try to steer owners away from.

Considering buy-and-hold rental properties to BRRRR in my neck of the woods and trying to do due diligence.

Inasmuch as there is no bodily injury nor injury to outrage-protected interests in Alabama (dead bodies, the homeplace, etc.) when there is a denial of coverage, then if I had a title company and had such concerns, I'd probably come down on the side of turning down the applicant.
