Letting them selectively have 1 weakness on paper is the generous part- and you need to be very selective with the weakness, at that.I'm not a fan of self management as I've experienced a lot of tenant drama over the years and I no longer invest time/energy into this- now I invest money into with management- but when you're a new investor, it's a truly great way to learn.

If I die unexpectedly, my family is taken care of.Retirement accounts were meant to replace company pensions by reducing employee income during employee working years to save businesses money.

I've owned it for 2 years and both summers have been booking at nightly rates well above what I expected, and winter has been bringing guests for 1-3 months at a time reducing the turnover and putting the income on autopilot.

Selling a few, seller financing a few all to reduce my hassel, work re trimming the dogs and high effort doors. 

If you sell you will need to pay some form of tax and that will greatly reduce your purchasing power. 

You may also need energy calcs. 

Besides reducing the deposit, maybe have YOUR attorney hold the deposit.

They have a signthat reads "coming soon" (not sure what that means), but I don't see it listed onzillow/redfin yet.It sounds like a goodidea to buy a property side-to-side with the current one--I already know thearea, the neighborhood, I reduce the risk of bad neighbors, etc.

Recently it was brought to my attention that instead of selling an apartment complex as an individual asset, you can sell the LLC which own that asset and avoid or at least significantly reduce what you owe in taxes.

This type of income could be considered self-employment income, in which case moving it to an LLC which pays you a reasonable salary could reduce payroll/SE tax.
