Most of them that I have been checking out are for landlords or management companies with larger holdings.

There is opportunity building houses, but should someone who doesn't know which end of a hammer to hold start building one himself?!?

Are there important considerations for having a manager managed LLC (as the only manager) vs a single member LLC specific to 1) real estate buying and holding,  2) for tax filing (E.g., as a disregarded entity) or 3) for how you represent your LLC (e.g., what title you can use to sign off) if you have a manager managed LLC as the only manager vs having a single member LLC?

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.

Investment Info:Condo buy & hold investment.

If the borrowing entity were to default on the loan, the lender will hold each responsible.

We've had our share of CAPEX expenses on a few of our buy and holds which definitely takes away from the Piggy Bank. 

In these real estate deals you are dealing with 10s of thousands of dollars and when things go wrong on a thin budget is when you see dumpster fires and hear the cautionary tales.Most new investors concentrate solely on the down payment when in reality there's lots of costs: Closing costs, Holding Costs, Utilities Cost, you'll have to lay out money to the contractor for them to start the project, and there's taxes and insurance there's transfer tax title costs.More capital than you think is needed. 

its going to increase your hold costs.
