It was our inaugural personal project but it was a difficult rehab that still ended with unlevel floors, 4” exterior walls with little insulation, bad original bones, and a huge toll on our time and energy (I gave birth to our first child during the drywall phase).

My law firm actually specializes in asset protection and we typically recommend a Series LLC - which involves a "Parent LLC" and multiple "Children LLC" - each of which have their own property, shielded from the liability of the other "Child" LLCs.

I guess I am just looking at it as I know one day I can use that as my summer place down the line, and also give it to my child, eventually.

No more unfair advantages because a foreign manufacturer is free to pollute or use child/slave labor. 

Not all sellers are motivated.You have plenty of sellers that think that because their first born child is born in their living room their house suddenly is worth 40K over market price!

I have reliable care for our child, so I can be available remotely at any time during the day for anyone residing in differing timezones (I’m in Dallas, TX).

Perfect for a single parent with one child, don't know about 2 adult non-related co-workers on a corporate rental. 4 feet is not very high; see for yourself with a tape measure.

Then I also met some investors and there are plenty of YouTube videos talking about how the coming correction will make 2008 a child's play (I'd call them Doomsday guys, won't you?).

As a lender/broker, my hands are tied when the borrower boggles their own transaction & it happens a lot.Their credit score goes down, they change their employment, they buy a car, apply for credit, spend their down payment, produce a problematic tax return, income cannot be verified as they disclosed, judgments turn up, they forget to tell the truth about child support, etc.

We were originally managing the properties ourselves but have since purchased more units and have a second child on the way.
