Being a normal person and giving someone a heads up has not bit me, yet.In addition to what the law requires, I always shoot the tenant a heads up either via text, call, or email.If they are mostly responding to email, then shoot them an email.Emojis and gifs work wonders in today's day in age.

I personally have found an abundance of deals where older landlords no longer wish to own but do not want to pay the capital gains tax. 

Just keep in mind that there are further steps you'll want to keep to minimize the possibility that your entity is ignored for this kind of personal liability (say, if you were the person who didn't properly clear snow, or if your finances and the LLC's are comingled).And I agree with @Chris Seveney, insurance may provide adequate protection based on what's available to you.

Instead of being discouraged by a property that doesn’t quite meet your needs, why not see it as a chance to personalize and add value right from the start?

I remember some of my staff trying to rent rooms and they would get 70 applications and interview potential roommates in person to see if it was a good fit.

While an LLC can offer liability protection and tax benefits, it’s not essential for a single property—personal liability insurance and an umbrella policy may suffice for now.

I had no idea what Ayn Rand was writing about was a REAL person: Frank Lloyd Wright.

My wife and I plan to purchase a few properties ourselves, but with the lead generation strategies I’ll be implementing, I expect to come across more deals than we can personally handle.That’s where you come in!

It’s one of the few places where you can still buy affordable properties, get strong cash flow, and see appreciation in the right areas.I personally built a 12-door portfolio there, and while it wasn’t easy, the market fundamentals are strong—affordable entry prices, high rental demand, and a city that’s been seeing steady growth.

I will say unique properties can sit since you are finding the "right" person.
