As your portfolio starts to increase, you can start creating single-member LLCs where the property is located, and then you can put all these LLCs in a trust.

If you are open to value add strategy, small multis have potential for not only traditional forced appreciation but also the ability to see major rent increases.  

Capacity and Tolerance. 1) Capacity: how many people can you comfortably fit in the property, is there room to add more, or add more value to the tenants to increase rent.2) Tolerance: How many people are you comfortable living with, if there are vacancies are you able to handle that.House hacking is an amazing path to homeownership, and a nice low barrier to entry into self managing your properties.

I’ve had people who signed up for 6 months and stayed 5+ years, paying increasing rental rates.

For investors, this can mean boosting rental income or increasing the property value significantly.

You really shouldn’t be running your business on a stranger googling answers for you but…the google says:  Depending on the rental agreement, Georgia landlords typically must provide a 60-day notice for lease renewals or terminations, while tenants generally need to give only a 30-day notice for lease termination.Jan 18, 2024If a new lease is not signed, and the landlord continues to accept monthly rent, the terms of the original lease still apply, except the landlord is required to give sixty (60) days' notice before she can terminate the lease or change the terms, and you (the tenant) are required to give thirty (30) days' notice before leaving.So you can’t non-renew until the end of April and you can’t even increase the rent until then.

The tenant base, on average, tends to be rougher on the properties, moves more frequently, and cannot absorb any rent increases.  

@Quan Pham have you investigated at all the potential increases in property taxes and home insurance (need to have landlord policy) and included them in your cashflow calcluations?

@Scott VaethIf you live in part of the home and rent out rooms, you might be able to keep the lower 4% owner-occupied rate.Instead of a long-term rental that barely covers half the mortgage, could you do a rent-by-the-room model or target traveling professionals to increase cash flow?

If you know that something major will need replacement in the future, increase the monthly amount you are depositing into your reserve fund.
