First person I hired, I also had them write their own job procedures and so on.

Not sure if the upstairs tenant (heavyset person with a dog) plays a role.Seeking suggestions.

Quote from @Zach Howard: I think it's probably better to hold real estate in an LLC than in my personal name.

Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: I personally would not buy real estate with a retirement account.There are just too many headaches that are not worth the potential increased return.Some headaches when it comes to investing in real estate with a retirement account1) LTV values are less and harder to find lenders.2) Potential to sell or partially distibute the property if you have to do a RMD(Required Minimum Distribution)3) If you run out of cash and have to make a major repair, you may be out of luck and have to sell.4) Having to potentially worry about UBTI(Unrelated Business Taxable Income)I would personally invest in stocks/bonds/notes with a retirement account.I buy deals with cash and use a ROTH SDIRA so there are no RMD's.I buy at huge discounts to retail.

If you do decide to do mailer(s), then I would advise you to personalize the card and do a handwritten note. 

@Reyna AyalaI personally feel this is overkill.

I’m not convinced it makes a real difference unless a person has a unique setting.

Personally, I've bought older homes since I invest in mobile homes myself.

I’m not a former IRS person.

You will have to pay higher personal income tax rate, versus waitingtill after one year for lower Capital gain tax rates.
