So, that's about my minimum for buying a rental.OTOH, I don't want to be dealing with a tenant for just $10 a month, even if that is getting me a 20% cash on cash return.As to your question, the number your asking about, in gambling terms, is called "variance".

I recently saw an ad for a funding program whereby you buy established LLC with good credit histories and then are qualified for funding within a few months.

A landlord must provide due notice before coming into the premises in all cases save that of an emergency: eg. a weeks notice to affect repairs or inspection of the property; 24 hrs to show the property during the last rental period before the tenant vacates.If the tenant can establish proof the landlord is coming into the property unannounced and uninvited - perhaps a motion activated webcam - then they can make a case to the relevant authority - here it would be the Office of the Rentalsman.

Didn't follow that.Let's establish the goal here.

The more property we own the more I am "establishing" a happy medium of stoic but fair.

I am assuming I can write an earnest money check with personal funds and then get the entity established during the due diligence period before closing and keep my name off the records?

. $5k for a 4,000s.f. house.3) Where my risk/gamble is, is that I like changing use of properties... converting bootlegged 2 units back into SFR.

You may not put "a little extra" back into the plan.In order to establish a Solo 401k you need to be self employed and have no full time employees.  

Without anything in writing, you have established $825 as the rent because that is what you have accepted in the past, regardless of your verbal agreement.2.

Yes they will lend, but they will require a down payment, and most likely you'll have to fund the repairs, especially if you don't have an established track record with a lender.
