Because I am managing for myself and a family member, do I have to incorporate an actual LLC/Corporation in order to manage these multiple LLCs?

At the end of the day my main goal is to be a self-employed real estate investor as soon as possible, rather than grind out time in corporate. 

It's gotten me: New couch, New Bed, and new porch chairs.

Maybe if you incorporate some unique amenities you'd have a shot at getting higher rates.

My listing in Greenville SC is in a reviving industrial area so I've incorporated some industrial elements into my listing https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/788487343968059581?

-Value or Appraisal ProcessAny building 4 units and less will be heavily appraised based on comps. 5+ structures weigh more heavily on the income approach (Value=NOI/Cap Rate) but also incorporate comps in the areaThe beautiful thing about all the questions you posed is that there are professionals in each one of those areas that can assist you further without having to expend all your time and energy trying to figure it all out on your own.

I've already built a model, tweaking it as needed,  although I love what I see on 'Adventures in CRE' and may see if there is anything else I can incorporate.

If terms are agreed to they are incorporated into a final agreement which would be recorded among the land records. 

Hi Justin:To have asset protection when placing your properties into an LLC, you must be sure your LLC is set up correctly with the proper operating agreement (tells how you function and your business intent) and articles of incorporation (to set you up properly with your state).
