You say a lot of what you did, but not much if any, about how.

If a person is say a slumlord who delights in breaking every law available until forced to comply, well than that person should make it a top priority right after therapy, although if your like most landlords looking to make a reasonable profit operating a legal legitimate operation than it is the rare oddball incident we are talking about, and for that insurance is a key piece not building a maze of entities.Myself I operate a s-corp as a parent company under which my other companies are held as subsidiary companies, all formed as LLC's.

I'd say a GOOD one is worth the likely 1-year turnover **IF** the work is fairly quick to learn/teach.

Wanted to drop in and say a quick hello.

I can't imagine what say a town would have as to whether or not title is clean outside of their jurisdiction. 

You could control the property for say a couple hundred bucks a month and you can rent it for several hundred more,  The owner makes a little money every month whether it is occupied or not and you don't have control with no money down. and low risk

There is enough overlap that if it doesn't apply to your goals and strategy directly it will allow you to gain some insight to say a wholesalers job or how to finance your properties after you have have four.

I'm looking at a 50 unit apartment complex and the costs you mention disappear vs the insurance and the things the insurance doesn't cover.Or let's say a single or multiple collection of single family homes with a net worth of a million per entity.By the way text never gives tone very well. 

However the intent is also for the benefit of the heirs and we have a say as well.

And when I say A or B areas and play the waiting game I mean when househacking especially you want to buy in the best areas you can, and then let appreciation and loan pay down build your wealth with these properties over time.
