My number one advice would be to separate out those who "Want a Date" types from those "Want to invest ONLY to make money".Mix those strings up and things could get very complicated and uncomfortable--b/c you know some of them are out there.What I'm saying is try to keep business and personal as separate as possible.Just my 2 cents.

On top of that I have a separate home service business that has seen a few really good years recently.

And I haven't purchased anything just yet.However, I have put in offers on 3 separate properties(none of which have resulted in a deal) at numbers that would "make sense" as the investor.

Having a separate account will help keep the books straight though.

After I questioned him why, he told me he still has a lot to do and will store his belongings at a self-storage space and then start to appeal to emotions and say how he has been paying rent on time for almost 10 years, how a faithful Christian he is, how he has been paying contractors to fix problems instead of me paying them (he never notified me when he did it), how he has replaced my old worn mini blinds with his new mini blinds at no charge (but without notifying me when he did it), and tell me to give him some more time.

You may have to sue them separately for a month or two of rent.

Also, do you have a separate LLC for each property?

Also, do you open a separate bank account and run all funds for the property in that account or is there a different way?

That will definitely be money well spent for anyone to help separate business from family.

This home is my primary home, but it does have an apartment in the basement with a completely separate entrance that has cash-flowed enough monthly revenue on Airbnb to cover the mortgage.
