The deals I'm pursuing should work well regardless, but I'd like to shave as much as possible on the expense side (without taking unnecessary/ill-advised risks).If things take off properly we'll setup an LLC and move into a commercial loan portfolio for the long term, so I would be curious whether that helps/hinders options as well. 

More unnecessary damage.

And four years ago, we all remember Donald Trump threatening to fire Jerome Powell if he didn't cut interest rates further at a completely unnecessary time, other than to help him try to win re-election.

It can be tricky managing properties in East Cleveland, but I don't think it's that much different than managing properties in C and D neighborhoods, it's just a bit more tricky with getting contractors over there, but I'm working on a listing in East Cleveland and had a contractor do a bunch of work on the property and didn't have any issues.Another issue with East Cleveland is they have point of sales, but Cleveland is going to start doing that soon, but definitely adds unnecessary costs when margins are everything.  

You could be creating unnecessary paperwork, headache, admin responsibilities, etc.This is more of a legal question, but typically I would think for a holding company you would want to list yourself as the manager of the holding company.

It makes sense to have standards, especially when you’re working with tenant-occupied properties and need to minimize unnecessary showings.

As it is, the current rent control laws sprinkled across CA create unnecessary challenges for new landlords.

It is completely unnecessary and a total waste of your money.

. You expose yourself to a lot of Unnecessary risk.

I understand your point but but strong language like that, combined with the overexaggerate of the news and their storms of the century that actually never happened put out a little bit of a unnecessary fear out there , I get it tho , there’s some truth and practicality to it , I must admit the high insurance costs and hurricanes have caused me to rethink the investment location, but I’m not gonna tuck tail and run in fear quite yet because who really knows if this is the new normal, and even if it is people live and invest in Florida coasts  because it’s Paradise for most of the year and they love it and accept the risk .
