I took no money from the cash flow (when there was any) and I never made a late payment to the bank.This fall, nearly 12 years after the bank gave me that house, and over 15 years after I knocked on that door - after evictions, vacancies, insurance claims, and never taking a dime out of it - I sold that house and placed all of the proceeds in a 1031 exchange.

You would also want to add the LLC entity as an "Additional Insured" party onto the landlord insurance for the property.

What kind of insurance do you use? 

Make sure you ask them good questions, make sure they carry insurance and that they are available year round. 

I will give you my numbers since we are 3 years into Velocity Banking.Home was purchased at $410k.Interest rate: 3.125%30 year termMortgage payment is around $1950 (includes insurance and property tax)HELOC: 8.25% Variable rate - current rateCredit Limit: $97kLet's say I made $10k a month and our expenses were $6k each month including the mortgage.

Also, how does one assess whether or not one can turn a profit after paying principal/interest, insurance, and taxes each month?

Does anyone else do it like this and who do you use for liability insurance?

Some numbers:Expected 2026 income after raising rents to market value and assuming 7% vacancy: $144k.Expenses: $14k property management, $18k property tax, $10k insurance, $10k utilities, $8k in repairs/maintenance/advertising/admin/etc: Total operating expenses: $60kNOI: $84kBased on 6% cap rate that brings the valuation to only $1.4m, or $1.5m based on 5.5% cap rate.

This is not a great return, but not terrible.As others noted, there are other risks, like having the property insured at full replacement or purchase price, or if the option is 100% seller financing with no money down or very little, versus 20% traditional down payment, this can start to move it into a better investment.

One downside of MF can be the age, and insurance can be a big issue.
