Traditional financial planners make the bulk of their income from commissions on stocks and bonds, so real estate will often times get dumped into an "other" category that doesn't get the proper attention.In my experience, we did receive a lot of help from real estate agents that are able to help us with our upcoming transaction, HOWEVER, they aren't setup to support the overall plan design in a way that was centered around the most important financial kpis.

That one month of lost income will take seven months of cash flow to recover.

The operating LLC doesn't own any asset, just liquid cash that is rental income from tenant and expenses against rental properties.

You can manage expenses, track income, collect rent, and even create virtual accounts for each property – all for free.

What ways could you lower the expenses or more income from the property.

If enacted, these changes would bolster real estate valuations and enhance returns for investors.How Real Estate Outperforms Under Different ScenariosIf Interest Rates Rise (Higher Inflation):Treasuries: Medium- to long-term bonds lose value, potentially resulting in negative returns.Real Estate: Higher inflation leads to rent growth, boosting net operating income (NOI) and offsetting the impact of higher borrowing costs.If Interest Rates Fall (Cooling Economy):Treasuries: Bonds appreciate in value, improving returns.Real Estate: Lower rates drive cap rate compression, significantly increasing property valuations and returns for investors.Conclusion: Asymmetric Risk-Reward in Real EstateWhile Treasuries offer a safe haven, they also come with limited upside and potential interest rate risks for medium- to long-term maturities.

Below is some copy & paste info about our methodology:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

The risk of "piercing the veil" applies more to LLCs when personal and business finances are not properly separated, not necessarily to individual landlords renting a portion of their home.A more practical approach is ensuring you have a solid lease agreement, sufficient liability insurance (including an umbrella policy), and properly reporting rental income and deductions on your tax return (Schedule E).

Quote from @Michael Daniel: @Jaycee Greene these are low income areas however there's a lil room for rent increase but not much.
