I’ve only sold 2 personal residences and I sold them both myself.

They're just not a desirable place for a family with options to live.

I have made some real estate investments personally, small.

here's what i personally am doing.  2 things.1. i will BRRRR something that breaks even on rent IF i can force a huge gain in equity.  2. i'm looking for seller finance deals. 

Also, I'm not sure what the zoning would allow you to do.As a side note, a touch of personal opinion still, which is shared by many people I know and which doesn't directly affect the discussion.

I wouldn't waste my money on that personally.

You have to treat the animal like a wheelchair for a handicapped person.

She does not want to live in the house so we are trying to figure out a reasonable strategy for leveraging the house to buy a property that is in a more desirable location. 

When creating my LLC I was not allowed to use a PO Box and had to use my personal home address.

You should be just fine with the properties in your personal name and an umbrella insurance policy.
