I'd compare the cost of the buyout vs. the penalty you'd get hit with IF you refi or sell. 

Hi Shaheen, rental properties often get hit with higher tax rates because local governments see them as commercial investments.

Good luck exactly the 1% and greater rule steers ( especially first time investors who think that is the metric they have to hit) into what is almost always higher risk rental areas.

As long as you keep track of everything and report correctly you should be good to go.I'm always in the camp to Keep It Simple Stupid when it comes to running stuff through LLCs until you hit a certain critical mass of assets and/or income.Hope this helps!

They are Class C properties and we've all been hit (temporarily) with interest rates.

I hit 24 Roku's about 6 months ago. 

Unfortunately, seniors are moving out of the newest/nicest 6 bd I have and actually covers 2 full mortgages in rent, I am just getting significantly less hits on Zillow even with premier. 

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said "...and I think it helps prevent problems when they understand the myriad issues involved in its use."

The thing is, once you’ve proven you can deliver on a promise..whether that’s a strong return, a well-managed property, or even just a handshake that means something..people don’t forget it.You’ve hit on a crucial point: great returns aren’t just numbers on a sheet; they’re invitations.

Secondly all DSCR should allow you to close in the LLC without a rate hit.If you are going to take out any cash through a refinance in less than 1-2 years be careful of how many years they try and hit you with the Pre-Payment penalty.
