I think Natural Gas dryers have 110V outlets but electric only dryers are 220V w/30 Amp breakers, if I'm remembering correctly. 

I have always been interested in home construction techniques that are different or older.Container homes, these sorts of shot-crete homes, bale homes etc.The biggest issue is not that fact that they will rent, for if they are in the right location, of course they will rent just fine.

Here are a few tips:Asset Management: Holding your property in the LLC can protect your personal assets, but check with an attorney or CPA to ensure it’s set up correctly and complies with local laws.Rent Collection: Collecting rent through the LLC simplifies accounting and keeps personal and business finances separate, which is a big plus for taxes and liability.Property Management: Since you’re self-managing, the LLC can be used to formalize agreements, pay vendors, and manage expenses—treating it like a professional operation.Just make sure to consult an attorney or accountant to align your setup with your goals.

This is fun if you’re tracking correctly.  

I am admittedly a newb in the process of getting all of this set up for my first rental (so correct me if I'm wrong) as well but I have some IL-specific perspective to offer: From what I have read, as of 1 Jan 2024 in IL, landlords cannot exclusively accept EFT payment of rents (includes Venmo, Zelle, etc.) for leases starting on or after that date.
