I currently own 1 single family home in Seattle.

Ideally a duplex or single family ADU so I can start cutting my costs to save money faster for the second house.I'd love to hear from experienced investors looking back on their first property.

We need local property investors to come to the Joliet Land Use Committee to fight a plan to conduct rental inspections of ALL SINGLE FAMILY RENTALS.

They have been a great tenants for 3.5 years so we have only raised their rent $50 in that time (so they may be over 3x today).The median household income for a family of 4 in San Diego is $63.4K. 

The single family home is worth 200k.

I also value privacy and control, so owning my own single family home is important to me. 

Hello,I currently own a single family home purchased in 2007 for $215K, 30 yr mortgage, monthly payment of $768.

I'm not sure it makes too much sense to have 20 different LLC's for every single property you guys own together. 

You can shadow someone, partner with someone, do a master lease, or start small (single, duplex, triplex) and work your way up.

The list isn't important anyway.B - The process you are following, doing what I am assuming is a Sandwich Lease Option is as follows:   1 - Gain control of the property by signing a lease agreement, and an Option agreement (they are 2 separate agreements, and should NEVER be a single agreement...and never include references from one to the other) in the name of an LLC (you).   2 - Sub lease to the tenant (buyer).   3 - Sell an Option on your LLC to the Tenant/Buyer.   4 - When the Tenant/Buyer exercises their Option, they are buying the LLC.   5 - The Tenant/Buyer now owns the LLC, and all its assets...which include the Option to buy the property.   6 - In the end, the Seller never changes, and the buyer never changes.
