I'm not grossly opposed to SFH if it is much cheaper, but do to the spacing between dwellings per city code I could fit more doors on this plot if building duplex.

But perhaps it is different with an LLC as opposed to an LLP.

I was happy to see you said your current bf would "pay you rent" as opposed to buying the house together.

I just had the house stained by my general contractors sub and I just found out that he used exterior wood stain throughout the interior of the home. 

Updated Property with more amenities, maximized beds from 2 queens to 3 beds ( 1 king + 2 queens) , and remodeled exterior with a much more appealing hangout space that includes hot tub/outdoor dining/geodesic dome. 2.

I have yet to have a BP poster explain to me why a Wyoming LLC as opposed to an LLC in the state where the property is located will prevent a plaintiffs attorney from filing a claim against the whomever is listed on title when a premises liability issue arises amongst other common real estate investor/landlord claims. 

You as the business owner are ultimately responsible (legally and ethically) for the actions taken under that mantle.As the OP stated, this is a new business relationship, and in my opinion there is much more downside to being laissez faire at this point as opposed to "hands on."

I'm really not opposed to investing in AR. 

I'm running into hangups with code section R302.3.1 which seemingly requires not only the floor separating the units to be fire rated but all the walls below supporting that floor to be fire rated (ie all exterior walls and load bearing interior walls on the first floor), which may mean extremely expensive fire rated windows at the lower unit.  

If there is mold, it will usually be A) on the subfloor exterior, joists, and insulation in the crawlspace, or B) in any areas of water damage/water leaks inside the walls, behind tile in bathrooms, etc.
