Then I open up a new credit card that I link through auto pay to each account to take advantage of benefits from ongoing expenses.

I know there is one property I ran across like this.

I like to use PropStream because you have ongoing access to live data. 

Ongoing every day lol Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Great idea on going straight to the bank.

However, the IRS won't let you expense it (ie take it all at once) and with apartments, you spread the cost of improvements over 27.5 years.You use depreciation as an offset against your income from the property.Since depreciation is also supposed to account for the ongoing degradation of the property it is also used for that.  

I ran comps using Propstream.

Just out of curiosity, do you know if this website is more geared toward "one off" materials that MHP operators would need for ongoing repairs (thus paying a bit of a premium for the convenience)?

The ongoing fees, registered agents, and the proper maintenance of an LLC are probably more important than the simple creation of one.

In retrospect, I ran my numbers wrong.
