It may let you place two bets on two different neighborhoods.A number of years ago, early in my career, I passed on a large duplex (4br each) because the rent on either would have represented too much monthly exposure if I had a vacancy. 

- are they giving your listing the exposure it deserves?

This would allow me to pay down my mortgage early under either of these two financing options, something that would enable me to remove PMI quite soon or minimize my exposure to interest rate increases.Which option would each of you choose were you to be in my position?

This might give you a good impression of how much exposure the sign would give to your tenants. 

As everyone moves more toward cleaner energy you can expect the rates to go up even faster.FYI, that "free roof inspection" is usually the solar company looking up your place on Google Earth and seeing if you have enough direct light exposure.

The patrons want to hear live music, and the club owner wants to have live music, but the patron doesn't want to pay a cover charge and the owner doesn't want to pay the band so everyone thinks the band should work "for exposure".

You really have a "commercial" exposure that merits you securing evidence of liability insurance at minimum from your new tenants.

The second pillar is a good insurance policy as that cover the majority of your exposure.

By having one property to a LLC, your exposure is really just the amount of equity in the property. 

Folks that think they can just be in business and have no exposure just have never been sued in theory maybe in reality..
