When you buy from larger firms just recognize you are paying their overhead costs as well.

You aren’t going to create them for privacy (the county tax records will make it obvious the previous owner moved them in to an LLC or trust.)You aren’t going to create them for liability because 1) you’re going to screw up and co-mingle funds piercing the corporate veil. 2) Anything that gets the property in the LLC sued is going to be your fault, so you’ll be sued as well. 3) you’re just going to buy an umbrella policy because you are 10X more likely to get sued for something you do than something the property does.

The only question is how well, and for how long, the US can play "kick-the-can".....

Owning real estate is basically the same as being in the service industry and sometimes the end of a lease isn’t going to coincide with the best dates for a landlord to rent.

We see well over 95% of our clients complete exchanges with properties they like.

Hello, I have rented out a Single family home on Jan 1st 2024, tenant was brought in by an agent and setup lease as well.The tenant profile was not so great, but it was empty for more than 3 months and I reluctantly rented it out.Since then, tenant was paying rent, but on 5th of every month after couple of followups.Last month they pushed it to 15th asking they were hit by sickness, family emergencies and BS, I said its only one time pass and they paid it on 15th.Now August 1st is upcoming, they are requesting for a call setup to chat, not sure whats that abt, but I presume to buy time.BF and GF signed the lease, it appears things not working out well between them, only lady is  answering emails/chats/calls.

@Jeremy Sanders you actually asked the question I have had as well, but you summed it up so perfectly!

Keep that person happy, and they will keep you happy as well.

I treat my tenants well and have them in there under market rent so it’s very rare I have a vacancy.
