The average seller-finance loan is through a mom-and-pop that does 1-2 in their life.

**I know this is all going to vary based on everyone's unique goals, timeline, and life situation**But I am curious to know how you think about your real estate portfolio and how you approach your strategy.

I'm not.The way around it is a single-person LLC owned by only one person and not their spouse.

Safety and quality of life can/will be influenced by your tenant.

Nothing in life comes easy. 

I think we charge about $50 per application for every person over 18 years old.

In CA, generally, if a tenants dog gets out and attacks a person or pet by way of landlord negligence, like through a broken window or faulty door, then you the landlord could be held liable.

However, minor cosmetic repairs or repairs to personal property cannot be deducted such as paint, replacing broken hardware, fixing leaks or holes, etc.(2) If you have other types of investments (e.g., stocks or mutual funds) that are operating at a loss, if you liquidate those investments to take a loss, you can use those losses to offset your capital gains.

If someone injures themselves and sues, they will be suing the LLC and not you personally.

I will try to find such a person.
