That includes planning for and anticipating large repair items and having a reserve for that.

I anticipated that this might put off investors and sound odd, but if you saw the exact location, you'd understand my reasons. 

Repairs cost more than anticipated  

I watch Brandon Mulrenin for his cold calling content, just for knowledge, however when I obtain my license I anticipate using a different approach to his when it comes to personality and tone. 

Hello,If I purchase a rental property in Miami this year and close under my name initially, and then transfer the title to a LLC the same year, do I need to anticipate TWO times the property tax hike for next year?

I do not see any project to be done on the same city twice or 3 times in a year, if I were to charge it as part of "cost of doing business", my price would be higher as I would anticipate more and cover everything that "can happen", I would rather have it as at cost than that of adding it to price.

What are some next steps or things to anticipate that I might not see coming?

Also some of my contractors did not want to bid due to parking challenges of mission beach.It came out fairly nice, but the cost was crazy and I personally did way more construction work than anticipated due to getting $crewed by 2 separate handymen.   

Depending on how many you anticipate buying and how quickly may provide insight into whether or not you want the added hassle of finding loans with an LLC.

Though it is a negative cashflow move in the short term, I fully anticipate rental rates to catch up to the expenses in about 3-4 years and break even monthly.
