I want to form an LLC in Delaware to cover my out of state buy and hold properties in the Midwest (Kansas City, MO).

When the property is vacant, you have to cover taxes, ins, loan2 - Property Management:  If you are going to have a PM down the road, and they cost 10%/month, use 10%/month in your analysis.3 - Loans:  Hard money cost (points and accumulate interest) is a hard cost...not a cash flow cost4 - ...and 12 years is a long time to wait for your cash back.
