Setting up an LLC can be helpful for liability protection (even early on) since it separates your personal assets from the business.

When it dies I won't replace it with an ice maker but they were over the moon to get the rental and this is the second set of tenants that said we don't care about the ice maker.

However, this isn’t a sign of a long-term shift—it's a temporary adjustment influenced by a unique set of factors.The good news?

We are also temporary heat providers for most large construction projects in and around Buffalo NY, neither I nor anyone in the industry that I know if has been contacted about setting up temporary heat for this project which is normally one of the first steps before a project gets into winter. thats a nice cottage industry winter heat.. 

I would have to get with the property manager and mimic the exact plans they have set up in the lease, all of which were probably customized by the PM to get a few extra dollars.  

Set up a contracts account at both Lowes and HD. 

I'm happy to chat about the calculator I use when evaluating properties along with my set inputs.

Set aside reserves for unexpected repairs or vacancies.

I'll be bouncing back and forth between the two cities over the next four months before I move in order to get life set up and trying to learn the city... and hopefully find my next project. 

If you do all of that and more its a great set up and I can appreciate that but as a banker for over 19 years I have heard a lot of war stories of lead companies or lender finder websites failing customers.
