@Michael Plante, It depends on whether 123 Elm LLC is a regarded or disregarded entity and whether or not the new LLC will be regarded or disregarded. 

But if you're looking to beat rent, get *closer* to breakeven or even cashflow (depending on rent strategy) then definitely check these out and reach out anytime with questions.

I think renters with disbilites are good for two reasons. 1. they have a consistant stream of income and 2. depending on the disability they are more likely to stay longer in your rental.

This depends on the local MLS so I can only speak for mine but the way it works here is you get a discount on MLS dues if you are a Realtor/ NAR member.

How quick you can scale will depend on your future work income as well as rent and equity appreciation in the property, but either way this is a good start. 

We see on average 5-7% of monthly rents going back into general repairs and about the same to capex depending on the property condition.

It will depend on your demographic @Ethan Swat. 

As far as whether to rent or buy, it depends on your personal situation, though as it's a new area it may be a good idea to rent for the first year while you decide where you'd eventually like to purchase.

This is really dependent on the stage of your investment life.At your age starting out I would be heavier into cash and 401k.  

Depending on the location, the home could benefit from appreciation in value and/or experience rent growth.
