One of my objectives in the next couple of years is to start an endowment that benefits leaders on high impact non-profit organizations around the world.

It's possible that other cities could be different.If an LLC owns the property, then:It cannot pull its own permit (a person can) - this also means that many jobs that do not require a specialist must be done by a contractor. 

If they have any strong objections, that's fine, you potentially just saved yourself a world of frustration.

Therefore, I object!

Thanks for any insight.shinny object  herd mentality and small dollar entry.. 

It's basically saying that you, as a landlord, are presumed to have a high propensity towards discrimination, so we're going to enact legislation that removes your ability to choose the tenant so that you are no longer even able to discriminate, whether you would have or not.For example, I get 3 applications that have similar income, job history, rental history, and credit.Person A had dirty clothes on, a passenger seat littered with McDonald's wrappers, didn't take their shoes off until asked to do so, had grime under their finger nails, etc.Person B was a loud mouth type A personality who started telling me how things were going to be.Person C was clean and respectful and asked if it would be alright if they created a mulch bed with plants and flowers in front of the deck.If Person A or Person B sees the house first, and they meet my written objective qualification parameters, I, by law, have to rent to a slob who may trash my house, or a jerk who may cause arguments, disturb neighbors, or make my life difficult in any number of other ways?

My objective is to position my ROTH contributions so that I can use it to invest in property as a 1031 exchange. 

Buy and hold real estate is like a retirement plan: it works, but it's not sexy.I wouldn't worry so much about convincing people to invest how you like best, it's not for everyone nor is it the objectively best way.

Last step is to look at the projected investor's return and decide if this return meets your objectives.

This is the part where I need improvement.If you found a great deal today, and called up your hard money lender to go take a look, those are the things they would ask you to provide, and they would provide their objective version of your deal, as a comparison.
