If you continue filing taxes jointly the income you realize from your separate property will still need to be explained and redacted, regardless of the type of entity holding the real estate.

But if you're holding long term with no plans to sell in near future - better to get them leased up!

I have an opportunity to buy low and since the cash flow is great, I'd prefer not to sell and hold.

If you plan on holding, it's then a much easier task to roll it into a DSCR loan.

I have owned several single family homes as rentals in my own name, my first LLC holds mostly 2-4 unit small multifamily properties, while my most recent LLC has all 5+ units.

I am ashamed that we have folks like that wearing the badge or holding the office. 

I always have a "hold 1st" mentality - you might have to leave a few more dollars in the deal but at least you'll have it in your portfolio.

You don’t need anyone to hold or manage your SD 401(k) plan.

@Jacob HripWhen paying with cash, you have fewer closing costs (no lender fees) and fewer holding costs (no interest payments).

A and B tenants, usually need more hand holding and expect more because they assume that they are entitled to it because they are paying so in rent.
