The rehabs are easier and can be more uniform.  

I can't stress enough that those who may be exempt make every reasonable attempt to comply with the intent of DF as the restrictions are and will be seen, just as any other regulation, as a base line for fair dealing.Then you have commercial loans, these won't be held strictly to DF but they will be to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and acceptable commercial underwriting.The days of two old farmers meeting over a fence post and selling land on terms, writing out an I.O.U. are long gone.The acceptable play ground for investors as to an amortization on a SF deal is 1 to 30 years.

These aren't RESPA loans and aren't nearly as uniform as residential mortgages that are covered by RESPA.

That is an essential skill when working with non uniform engineering materials (earth) where we try our best to quantify engineering solutions with limited information.

Yes there is a different risk for each class.For example on property insurance the policy is usually higher.The reason is statistically at 30 years or older certain things start to go out (plumbing,wiring,etc.) and claims go up.Some carriers will not write policies unless the building has a new roof,plumbing,electrical etc..Commercial lending 5 plus units is not all uniform like residential.Depending on who the lender is and how the finance is structured the lender and underwriting will put more weight on different items when making a decision.

Rul. 80–155, 1980–1 C.B. 84, provides that since amounts allocated or distributed to a participant must be ascertainable, the plans must value their trust investments— (1) at least once a year, (2) on a specified date, (3) in accordance with a method consistently followed and uniformly applied. (4) DOL Reg. 2510.3–18(b)(2) defines “fair market value” as the price at which an asset would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller when either party is not under any compulsion to enter into the transaction. (5) Rev.

I agree with the pepper spray, you may be able to get the police grade at a police supply/uniform store.

using flooring nails and a power nailer which is the best way to go. so you don't beat the wood with dents from missed hammer blows.but if all you have is a hammer have at it but be careful.ok now for the staining.I recommend you get three cans of stain all of which should be close to your color of floor. going a little darker but not lighter. if you use three colors lighter by a shade if you use four colorscarefully use a darker shade against the nearest board of the old floor followed by your lightest shade followed by another darker shade followed by the middle shade. be sure to stay in the lines of the board and try not to go astray.actually using a rag turn it but dont worry too much about keeping your colors too separated the more contamination of stain from board to board the better it will give more illusion of uniformity in contrast this sounds contradictory to what I said about staying in the lines.

I don't go clothes shopping anymore because I only wear work uniforms mostly everyday of the week.

(IMHO) If protection from a lawsuit is your sole reason for transferring your property to an LLC, then you are in violation of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act.Consult your attorney for specific guidance.I generally agree that an LLC is not necessary for rental property that you manage properly and insure adequately.
