About 5 years ago one of the sellers we bought a multi family from told us about a company that has a lot of landlords like us and we coshare insurance coverage.

Pay a Title Company to complete a Title Report3.

Where did you find this company and or was it referred to you.2. did you go with them because their fee's and interest rates were advertised as lower than other lenders.

One risk I could think of is - Even witb a 20 year guaranteed lease, thr company could bankrupt & may put me in a situation to look for a tenant.

On the REIT side - When these investments go underwater, often the sponsor company will freeze or drastically reduce redemptions.

I'd also recommend you have a good relationship with an investor-focused Realtor that can connect you with a solid Property Management company, etc. 

The income includes things like late fees, a rented garage, and utilities that are billed back to the tenant. 

@Jeff Nash would be a great resource to speak with on companies/investments to offset your W2.

There is no one with experience in actual real estate high up in the company, which is the problem with most tech companies masquerading as real estate companies (including brokerages).Let me know if you want to know even more. :)

My business partner owns a roofing company but has weak credit and more limited cash flow.An LLC is a common choice for partnerships since it protects personal assets and simplifies tax management.
