Hi Minh,I appreciate your philosophical view on investing.  

They view it as a part-time weekend gig that provides an extra forced savings account for retirement.  

I also live in Bay View--great area.  

If you buy distressed, improve, rent and hold for several years, the one year view doesn't fully inform.What type of property are you evaluating?

Has some more pics to view.

From a buy and hold investor point of view.       

While there we check for damages that may have occurred.In my view if the tenant knows we will be scheduling these appointments they may be more likely to care for the property better.

With 4 members in the LLC remember that personal financial statements, credit scores, etc. of each member are needed for most loans. ( Sometimes not for strong properties, low LTVs or hard money. )  The viewed viability of the LLC by the lender is only as strong as the weakest member. 

I personally ask them questions like if a stranger viewed their home what condition would they say the exterior and interior are in based off of a scale from 1-10.

Page views for local multis and commercial is sky high, inventory is way low.
