Hi Kasey,If you plan to scale a portfolio, over the long run it would make sense to put them under the LLC.

(To me it makes no sense to take on a mortgage while I'm also paying to get tenants out!)  

I definitely agree if you have SFR and enjoy doing the work yourself, no sense in hiring an accountant.

This might contain references, work information, renting history, and personal details.Make explicit the regulations pertaining to the usage of common areas, quiet hours, visitors, and other pertinent matters.

pretty common reaction lol. the reality is that yes, investing does come with challenges. if you treat your investments like a business & really commit to being great at it, you will face far fewer challenges than the average mom and pop landlord. another reality of it is that the wealth-building power of RE, when done right, SERIOUSLY outweighs challenges like landlord/tenant issues. in life, find people who are doing what you want to be doing, and take advice from only them. block out the rest. 

I'd wager this thread will skew heavily into Real Estate (which makes sense!). 

Our current rent is $2600 I want to offer to pay $3000 for as long as she wants 1-15 years and then pay $600k My main question is whether that type of structure of offer makes sense legally or technically or practically. 

Many investors from California, are investing in the midwest because of the yearly returns making more sense in these lower priced markets.

Again, this is a very common 1031 strategy. 

Hi,I am new to RE Investing and would like to check if following numbers makes sense or am I missing anything:Property Details : 3/2 TownhomeIncome: $2800Expenses = $2700 (approx)Here is the break down.Mortgage + Tax +Insurance = 1800HOA = 265Vacancy = 5 % per month = 140Repairs + Cap Ex = 200PM = 10% per month = 280Total Cash Flow : $100I can get greater cash flow if I manage myself but I am not planning to do it.I am thinking of getting HELOC and buy a new primary residence and rent this one.
