Even though there are a lot of arguments around whether LLC truly provides a protection, in the end, having it gives you a possibility... rather than not having it at all.

Thanks for clarifying that.Your examples for appreciation and depreciation are also helpful.Are there any convincing arguments for buying in all cash? 

I, like you run my firs duplex with the same culture of focusing on customer service.

And the only "client" reviews I've seen mention that their customer service is non responsive and difficult to get a hold of once you're purchased their services.

I'd want to know more information to make a good recommendation, but it sounds like you would have a strong argument if everything else is the same except for location.MP tasksTenant Management:Showing properties, screening applicants, and preparing leasesWelcoming tenants and addressing inquiriesCollecting rent and managing evictionsProperty Maintenance:Cleaning, repairs, and inspectionsAdministrative & Marketing:Supervising staff, purchasing supplies, and promoting rentals (ads and website)

I know people that are really good at their trade (plumbing, cleaning, electrician, etc) but they don't have financial discipline, they don't know how to market, they suck at customer service, they don't use tools to their advantage, etc.Cody Sanchez (lady in the video) buys different types of businesses and makes them profitable by applying basic business disciplines.

Luckily my customers were pretty loyal to me but you get the point. 

The thing is, that exact argument can be used for upvotes.

If you’re looking for speed, flexibility, and a customized solution for your investment, private money lending is a great choice, even if the interest rate is higher.

I've reached out to customer service and received little assistance.
