Some banks may balk when they see the owner of the LLC is an IRA. 

@Joe Pizzo think about it logically, what team member has more of their interests aligned with an owner's?

I saw a story the other day where squatters broke into a house while the owners were home and claimed ownership.

It is owned by Landmark Realty, a large San Fran based owner that owns ~6,000 units.

So once you get to 5 units, most investors end up on the commercial mortgage side of a bank.And as he notes, from a brokerage standpoint, in my market, I see most 8 units or less exclusively on the MLS.  8-20ish units are a mix of MLS and Loopnet/Brokerage sites.  20+ units are almost exclusively listed by brokers that specialize in multi-family and you will not see their names on yard signs anywhere.  

Looks like it is actually better for the owner as well since if the property management company gets sued and they don't have liability protection, they might charge the owner for the expenses. 

years until rents increase or I can re-mortgage at a better rate, if we will ever see those kind of rates again.Also long time lurker and finally joining - I used to frequent this site when I lived and worked in the area years back.

Confirmed on the county site too but would have had to wait for the document.

Even owner occupant after 10 years is actually living for free and make almost twice than the original investment. 

I know here in TN that once you win a property the prior owner has a year to pay the taxes.
