I’d also like to see where you got your statistic about less than 5% reoffending.

@Sean Morrisey @Patrick Daniel You have all referred to development as the main statistic you are looking into.

Lack of statistics/evidence indicates no real need for a LLC in your case.

Generally speaking, the statistics in Arlington predict that your realtor's strategy *may* net you more, but you're the one that has to be comfortable with it and it's your home, so do what works best for you. 

Originally posted by @Cameron Riley:@Michael J.Read the book titled “ eviction “ 92 percent of landlords would rather select persons without KIDS to be their tenants I have trouble believing that statistic.

The 2nd room was occupied 68% of the time, but generated $827 between 7 guests.Although I'd like more statistics regarding the Milwaukee airbnb market, I figure that 50% occupancy per month would generate the same amount of revenue as leasing both units would.Please give your opinions. 

Thanks for the input Rachel, was just statistics I read while doing research, not my own experience.

I found the statistics on vacancy rates and rents.  

Statistically, if we just pay it our expectation value is to lose $100.If we venture into the grey area and don't pay it our expectation value is to lose {[$100 PLUS penalties and interest] TIMES [probability of having to pay it]}If our penalties and interest run 25% total, then we are looking at {[$100 + $25] X [probability of having to pay it].

Not sure what data the trulia crime map is based on but there are other websites that provide detailed crime statistics of a given area. city-data is one of them.
