If it was owned by someone famous, and its provenance can be demonstrated, then yes, it is worth more.  

Is it worth it for someone like me who hasn't done any deals yet, but is going to be making offers on my 1st investment property in the spring?

Interesting view to surface some of the most active housing markets!

If you expand your rental business in the future, an LLC may be worth considering, but for now, keeping good records and securing appropriate insurance should provide adequate protectionThis post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

In Boulder is more like 300 but in the upper end you might rent a house for $5K a month that is worth 3M.  3M/5K= 600 GRM which is of course a terrible investment.  

It seems like a lot, but it’s well worth it to be able to move a deal quickly.

For LLCs, it’s true that many investors start without one, but with significant assets and your husband’s profession, asset protection is definitely worth considering.

It may be a small chance of getting caught, but still a chance which makes it not worth it, in my opinion. 

Coming in and making an offer after nothing for months on. a dying listing is also worth considering. 

At the very least, it might be worth exploring partnerships that align with your goals.
