You can always later assign the beneficial interest to an LLC.The trustee however will probably be listed on the deed that is a publicly recorded document.

However, I'm also in strong agreement with the licensed ccw approach too. if at all possible, bring the person and the ccw. make sure you bring someone that will have your back and can assist you if necessary. being able to identify the perp after they've battered/killed you is important in the eyes of justice, yet its not really preventative. hopefully most realize the difference. if someone has malicious tendencies towards a real estate agency/sales people, r.e. investor its the preventative measures that could save your life and that matters most. the reality is as many people that are in prison...there are a lot of sick people loose in the public of anytown usa. we all have access to phones to try to dial 911 but the opportunity may not be available. self-defense is first priority in my book.kudos,Mary 

Should I be giving reduced rent during the renovation period?

A public adjuster works for you in a sense.

Crying ….as you say not relevantHealth issue.... not relevantMarket rent...extremely relevantCost of tenant turnover....not relevant (cost built into expenses)The cost to you of reducing her rent is:late payments, chasing her for rent, excuse after excuse, ultimate eviction and vacancy plus a loss of $100/ month in the interim (plus a guaranteed lose of a minimum 1 months rent, if not more, before you ultimately get rid of her.)  

No public input was allowed but we got to hear different council members opinions on the fate of STR's in the city. 

Then reduce it back down once the property is 20 percent paid off?

I've already been reducing my personal monthly expenses.My question is, how long did it take you to acquire your first property and how did you do it?

I am also a Notary Public.

Does each one get any public transportation and bus stop locations.
