Over the years, with personal investment alongside investments from family and friends, I’ve been able to build a small portfolio of apartment buildings with a focus on cash flow through strong operations.

I personally would only reno to add additional living space and leave the rest as is.

They are grandfathered in, the property was built prior to those standards.

It's standard contract.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to help me build a credit profile/score for my company which will be independent of my personal credit. 

That could be a PM or you can hire a person to work full time for you. 

My personal property is located in pennsylvania and my friends who are foresters have told me I have oak and hickory that are 250 years old which is unheard of in PA. if I were you.

While I don't personally cover the Scranton area, my team and I work extensively with investors in the Philly suburbs, and I’m always up for a great real estate conversation.

In my experience (personal & w/clients) the wife usually doesn't want to pick up and move too often to stick with a strategy like yours.

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you are legally separating them from your personal assets.
