What works well in the Pocono's might not work as well in the Smokies or Destin.I know that we wouldn't be doing what we are doing if we had a 2/2.

I highly suggest you have an account for maintenance as well. 

They've performed well and expenses are extremely low.

I have yet to come across any CRM that's all-in-one, that did everything well.

@Mike HaworthIn situations like this, I also skip-trace the residents on either side of the target property.Those close neighbors can be a goldmine of info on resident history, any recent comings and goings, and last known contact info. 

I am interested in this topic as well. 

My wife and I plan on buying another property at the end of this year and will probably move that property into the LLC or Trust as well.

Mortgage rates are driven by the capital market and basically follow the bond market, specifically 10 year US treasury with a premium, historically about 1,7%.Yesterday the 10yT fell to 3.9% and I have seen 5.99% 30y fixed rates with a local bank in here Milwaukee (that is still an inflated 2% premium), so 5.7% would be historically normal based on a 1.7% premium, even without the 10YT going any lower.Here is why.If the 10yT offers lower returns, more investors want to buy mortgage-backed securities instead to get higher returns (about 1.7% higher), as a consequence lowering the returns on those as well.

From a legal and liability standpoint, it is imperative to keep all three properties in separate LLCs and to keep the accounting separate as well.
