@Nate Sanow - the velocity you see in Tulsa is not unusual.

At first it's just a pipe dream, then you get the ok to work remotely (back in the day when it was unusual) a day or two here and there, then you graduate to work-from-home on a regular basis, then you realize you can take your job with you so there's no reason to stay in a fixed location, then you start increasing the number of destinations you go to while still working and so on and so on.

I think that probably works, it isn't unusual to have multiple LLC's in one entity. 

However, make sure to clearly differentiate them from the LLC-owned properties.For your real estate activities as a Realtor: Continue to report these activities on Schedule C.In summary, it's not unusual for a single-member LLC with rental properties to use both Schedule C and Schedule E, depending on whether the property is owned by the LLC or personally.

It's not extremely rare, but it's also not unusual.

I really think that it's unusual for the first deal to be the winner so chances are you are just at the start of your search.

We're in a very unusual situation, though.

I downloaded a lease agreement (WA residential leases) to use and found an unusual section - has anyone else included this clause here around the new rent rate after the first term expires?"

Are you saying it is unusual for a turnkey provider who owns and operates the property management company to take care of the utilities for the investor while it is vacant?

Cash is king right now and all-cash purchases for REOs aren't unusual.
