I'm struggling a bit on that comparing the passivity, appreciation, etc

@Landon Sheveland People do fix and flips while living into the property to classify the property as primary residence and not pay any capital gain taxes. if that is your intention, don't use LLC to establish this as your LLC.If your goal is different compared to what I said above, you can use LLC.

But honestly, you'll want to shop around and compare a few local PMs since fees and services can vary quite a bit.

That's not for investment purposes though, just to live for the time being and start a family. 

The way I see it is you're comparing two options, to HH or not to HH.

However, I shudder at the popular suggestion to sell some of your investments for tax purposes, often coming from commission-based brokers and financial advisors.

Prices are still relatively low compared to many other metros, and rental demand remains strong.I built my portfolio to 12 doors there while living in Detroit (now back in California) and have seen firsthand how the right strategy can still work.

Many landlords think of it as the HIGHEST end of rent prices for comparable rentals.

I’ve never used Norada so I can’t compare the two.

What’s the purpose of using the LlC other than to make it harder and more expensive?
