@Wesley Sherow Thanks for the info.

After listening to Bigger Pockets shows for weeks, I decided to NOT watch Dancing With The Stars!

When I am analyzing the data I make a spreadsheet with the top 20-30 properties that have 4.85 star reviews or better to find out what a comp property could make.

@Jay Hinrichs I definitely got stars in my eyes listening to @Brandon Turner and the podcasts describing 2% rules and 12%+ cashflow but ultimately ended up with what you suggested: being content with 5%+ cash on cash and enjoying (hopefully) better appreciation in this market.  

My children's school had a bit of a controversy at the end of last year, and our rating took a huge dip - apparently anyone can rate a school, and people from around the world have been giving it one star reviews without knowing the whole story.

Star with calling them and building rapport.

Deeding a property in their personal name to a LLC.Why, because you now have additional costs and are getting no asset protection since your LLC didn’t buy the property (and 99% of the time the mortgage is still in borrowers name).Other wasted costs tied to this is starting holding companies and all these complex entity setups to “hide” your name (side note unless you are a movie star or professional athlete no one cares about who you are or where you live.Ps not an attorney or cpa
