If you take the loan individually, you can later transfer the property to the LLC, but that may trigger due-on-sale clauses or tax implications.3.

I’m looking to become an investor in the KC area and I was curious if I should pull the trigger on a multi family or single family home with the VA loan?

The tradeoff on the joint financing is going to be the (refi) costs associated w any transfer of ownership, HOWEVER transferring title to the LLC is unlikely to trigger due on sale (b/c it sounds like most banks simply aren't monitoring and/or enforcing due on sale in these instances) which would make the ownership (sans the actual mortgage note) more easily transferable than exiting your position as an individual owner?

, any personal items to be removed/locked up etc? 

Locks are there to keep honest people out. 

So if you are self managing your property and it’s under an LLC and you lock the doors and do not give them access - guess what - the tenant does not sue the LLC fairy - they sue the LLC and the person who committed the act.

It would be a big mistake to pull the trigger on a property in an area like that.

For example, your door lock, your t.v.'

As an alternative you could look for a walk-out, lock-off basement and add a small kitchen/kitchenette down there to have your own space away from your housemates.

Thank you so much @Greg O'Brien, I just bookmarked this thread, I stayed up until 2am last night trying to find answers to this, confused by different professional opinions and IRS publications.I'm trying to use STRs (rented out 7 days or less with no substantial services provided in which I materially participate) to reduce my W2 liabilities and my biggest concern was if doing this will trigger Self Employment taxes.If I understood correctly, in this situation I can use depreciation losses as active against other active income (which is what I want).
