I did give them a heads up the day before that I would be coming so I'm assuming they made provisions to remove the dog for the day.I don't have an issue with having 2 dogs as long as the 2nd dog meets the typical qualifications I had for the first dog (breed, temperament, etc). 

In both cities, the firms I selected are the ones that didn't just answer my questions, but collected information from me ahead of time (property locations, valuation, current rent roll, etc.) and came to me, unasked, during our first meetings with not just their credentials and "sales pitch", but a specific plan for how they would transition the properties, and more importantly, look out for my long-term goals (eg; in the case of raleigh, we have several units renting under market value and the firm came to me proactively with a plan to get those units up to market rent or higher over the next 3-5 years).

Should I go ahead and set up the LLC, and put my 32K in an LLC bank account?

Be sure you get the insurance docs from the seller during due diligence and then take them to your insurance broker and see if what you can get is going to be similar -- assuming that you are not one step ahead of me and have already done this.

Do what @Dmitriy Fomichenko , @Mark Nolan, @Dave Visaya, Account Closed suggest and you'll be way ahead of the game!

My contract said under $200 they are allowed to go ahead without reaching me, but then they fixed a 6-year old dryer for $125, then shortly afterwards, fixed same dryer with another over $100 charge, supposedly for a different problem, without calling me, as both were under the $200 limit.
