But given the data posted above, I realize it's something I may need to consider when I have MFHs and want to keep a large pool of potential renters to choose from.It's good to hear that so many property owners have not found allowing pets to be a serious drawback when taking appropriate precautions.

We ventured out to other states, including judicial so that we could increase the pool of notes that we could buy from.Yes, judicial foreclosure has its headaches but that's an advantage for small, nimble investors who can make decisions and solve problems 20 times more quickly than big banks and hedgefunds.

There is also an opportunity for my parents and I to partner on some other real estate investments within the next couple of years once we've pooled enough capital.The other part of this strategy, and the part I feel the most unsure of, is the structuring of multiple LLCs  to protect my personal assets (i.e. retirement pay, TSP, other investments, etc.). 

HOA's pay for things that investors would pay for anyway on a non HOA property..My HOA properties pay for Roof,Exterior Maintenance,Landscaping,Common areas,and pool costs.

In order to protect it, you should try to figure out where and how the water is pooling and then get a contractor to look at it.

“Overcorrected” from being stationed overseas in small home for 3 years and bought the big house with a pool in Southeastern US 2 years ago (I just started listening/reading about FIRE and real estate investing ~6 months ago…wish I had done that sooner).

I've also seen the 1 bedrooms have more of a limited applicant pool versus a 2 bedroom which is much more broad.
