In my local area we have a ton of triple deckers and I would say about 85% of them still have these bulky very non energy efficient natural gas space heaters that are used to heat the entire apartment.

Unless you're the accountant type by nature, that sort of thing will not only drive you batty, it's unlikely to have any actual predictive value.

The door should cover the threshold and will look natural. 

I've been a bay area native my whole life, and Looking to get into Real Estate investing as a supplemental job and to "hack" my way into a house of my own.

When i take pics of my properties (I am not a professional), even I know to raise the blinds to let in natural light.

Assuming you've bought a well-done turnkey property at an acceptable price, and that you are in a stable/growing market, natural market forces are going to carry you over time.

It is possible to setup a partial interest from the manager LLC and the rest to you as the natural person, who we will refer to as the investor.

Now, I'm going through my thought process to arrive at a conclusion, my conclusion BTW.Debts in the name of the LLC made prior to the formation of an LLC are not protected by the limited liability nature of the company.

To maintain our standard of living and travel the world like we want, we will need to supplement our income however.  

I figure if we do good at that, then we can be forgiven if we make mistakes down the road and mistakes will happen, that is simply the nature of a business.
