My challenge is that the equity is siloed in a high number of properties which complicates our ability to draw against it and leverage that for operational and investment purposes.Do you all know of banks willing to work with investors and able to underwrite at the portfolio level, rather than having to apply for and open HELOCs on a per-property basis?

Playing for cash flow still, but also a little for appreciation and the single families typically dont require as much hands on work on a weekly basis (mowing grass, shoveling snow, etc.)Everybodys niche will be a little different.

It’s getting to a point where a new reason for an LLC or state where a LLC should be formed  comes to life in these forums on a daily basis.

Spend 5 min everyday to reconcile transactions to schedule E Categories and upload receipts.

When I die, they can keep renting out the properties or move into the SFH, or take the step up basis and sell it with not as high of a capital gains tax hit (I hope they wouldn't choose the 3rd option).
