I get where you're coming from with the concern about the new casino's impact on short-term rentals (STR).

Not only to ensure the networking happens, but the benefits of being the ringleader are endless.  

I have a property in Denver that does great with mid-term so I toyed with trying mid-term with a townhome I bought in Kissimmee—not too far from your clients' place.

So one of the purported benefits of having title in an LLC is that it makes it more difficult for someone to determine how much the value there is if they were to sue you.

The terms are not as attractive on a mixed use loan compared to a 1-4 unit residential loan.

This positive cash flow will provide a financial buffer and support your long-term investment goals.Multi-family (MFH) and single-family homes (SFH) are distinct asset classes with different characteristics.

Also, love to work out as much as I can in things like running, bicycle, jumping rope, and lifting weights-no ripped or jacked by any means-but thinking in the long term benefit (like in real estate).

There must be a ton of capital on the sidelines, and investors are putting down more on deals for them to work.Factor in tax benefits, hedge on inflation, rents still cheaper than buying, and the investment is still compelling to some.There are deals out there, you just have to create relationships with brokers, and play the long game.

Even if you are losing $500 per month which is ideally less than you'd pay in rent AND you get the other benefits of owning real estate like appreciation, value add equity, and the tax benefits.  

I would probably borrow a little more than $100-$150k if I could to keep more reserves.All I can do is mention my favorite fellow long-term operator and handyman in P-burgh @Jim K..
