My goal is simple: to illustrate why investing in lower-priced neighborhoods can be riskier and less rewarding than it seems.I had a client who owned five properties in these areas, all rented through Section 8.

From a residential perspective, it's certainly a easier point of entry (ie. less EMD, simple marketing, less sophisticated, less time).

Granted we only have 17 but still, I’ve never used anything except a simple excel spreadsheet and all my rental properties have a separate savings account under my main account at my local bank.

Would any of you recommend a certain site that specifically handles formation of LLC for rental property?  

You can find owners' names and mailing addresses on the county assessors site.

Like others have stated, their price is not always the best especially if you use cashback sites and/or search for coupon codes for other sites.

From the calculators I've looked at, it seems like it makes more sense very-long-term to hold on, but I'd love other's thoughts/resources (I'm not passionate about passing on as-much-as-possible to my kids when I die).From a blog post on this site about when to sell, one of the factors was when things have appreciated more than the rents in the area- but I wasn't sure when it was 'enough.'

It's not as simple as simple as buy now and hope that "time in the market" will produce a win for you.

We can get your site up and running in a matter of days, with content and lead magnets included.I've also heard good things about their education for maximizing your marketing and website's potential.

If they the tenant buyers to leave after three years and did not exercise the option, we could either sell it at that point or we could decide to do another lease option with a higher strike price.I guess the key concept is, because we have equity, we have some flexibility with what we would like to do.That seems rather fair, and simple, if I am understanding correctly.
