@Scott Shumardi can't answer your question, but here is my recommendation.  1. start going to meetups and find out which HMLs the successful investors work with. 

At that point it had been sitting for awhile so we ended up getting it way under asking!

I opted to go the HELOC route instead.

That's up to the lender, but many don't care for layered structures.

She played the Jesus card up big time.

@Lucas Helliker I am a multifamily broker who only sells multifamily in the KC metro - typically 5-50 units but go as low as 2 and up to about 72 units.

To navigate the nuance in the laws properly for compliance and to accurately structure our LLC, I am looking to consult with an attorney who knows immigration + business + tax laws. 

Quote from @Kar Sun: My tenant's lease is coming to a close and I am relieved she will be moving soon.She has been paying on time but has been extremely unpleasant and rude.While the money does not smell my mental sanity is more important than money in this case.She sent me a registered letter stating that she feels "unsafe because we have not done the fixes the way she wanted it".She requests to have her witness for a walkthrough.In my state a walkthrough is required but I am not about to grant it to her to bring any witnesses as that is not in my contract.If she feels unsafe she does not have t be present.I also do not treat a final walkthrough with a tenant as a final sign off.This walkthrough does not include a detailed inspection of the plumbing and the appliances that will be done after she departs.This is simply for the visible cosmetic issues and should take less than 1 hr.  

At a minimum,  you should understand what the current zoning is and what restrictions there are.As the post above mentioned reaching out or going in person to speak with the planning and zoning department will be very helpful. 

Having your calendar sync up between all is where a PMS comes in beautifully and OwnerRez is sou-to-nuts that best one out there.We went from one property to three within two years and the platform handles things wonderfully.The UI/UX utterly blows but the functionality is second to none.
