Based on number 2, I schedule them for the next round where I meet them in person at one of the properties. 

(Understanding that managing the place yourself is arguably the best way to do it, how much of a headache is it when you live far from your investment property and your job keeps you close to home such that you can't personally ensure that the property management company is managing the place well?)

Occupancy in A has fallen 20% (Houston and oil industry jobs getting hurt, microcosm of a bigger downturn in the U.S) while B/C occupancy stayed about the same at 92 to 93%.  

Great job Robin!

I use tenantsbackgroundsearch.com and have found it to do a good job.

I actually joined BP a little less than a year ago so I am not new to this site, but, this is the very first post I am posting, so, I am very glad to introduce myself here.I've recently quitted (finished my last day two days ago) my full time job in the heavy construction industry, which I had worked in for the past 10 years as a construction safety manager.

I have two part time jobs and I'm saving money to invest.The thing is, and I'm glad I've finally found myself, that I love learning.

But you must stick to your numbers. hard money is expensive and if the job goes sideways you need as much cushion as you can get to cover the carrying costs.

The LLC would pay back the C corp on the same 30 yr schedule.  

Some background about me: I have a full time insurance sales job, so I will most likely be using a property manager (unless you suggest otherwise), I've never rented property before, so I have 0 experience being a landlord.
