More than that is overkill, IMO.

I personally think that a lot of these cleanup efforts these days are overkill, but no one cares about my opinions :)The lesson I hope you take away is that you don’t want it to be your issue.

If it doesn't cashflow after both sides are rented it might not be a great deal. 40 percent down is overkill in my opinion but you can do as you wish. 

@Candace PriceHaving one property per LLC is likely overkill based on how you are describing it(multiple bank accounts, credit cards, record keeping).If I were in your shoes - I would likely have a different entity per asset class.

Newbie here trying to figure out my approach on my first purchase.I’ve read here in some cases setting up an llc may be overkill on the first purchase.

However, if you have just one home this might be a little overkill.   

As someone new to ownership/renovation, I see this as an opportunity to learn, but asking about every detail is obviously overkill and annoying for the tradespeople.

I'm sure it's all overkill, but I like data, and it's worked out to quickly give us tangible(though estimated) numbers to think about.

Good practice, but could be an overkill.

It's overkill.
