No evidence to the contrary has in the past been presented to support the value of a LLC for small time real estate investors.  

I see it chanted ad nauseum about "soft landlords" on these forums "file on the 10th", "no exceptions", etc etc etc...That's not that question and I've ALREADY FILED.But I'm in a good area and screen hard, so this is the FIRST TIME I've actually had to file....Unfortunately this is one of the more "frugal" client landlords (and maybe not coincidentally my first)...I had to rent this townhome with stained carpets, broken fridge, damaged kitchen flooring and more.....Of the terrible prospects he had, he incidentally picked one with roommates/family members with bad credit and no rental historySo it's no surprise to me we're in this situation, but I find myself at ends arguing to save him time and money from the courts.

I believe it is called the "two Kitchens rule".

And it's gorgeous, believe me... new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paint, appliances, the whole nine.

One is refinished (family room) and darker ones are the allure flooring in the kitchen.

I can't tell you how many times we have recommended our clients to allow us to install a power outlet in a kitchen or bathroom when there isn't one.

I'm thinking kitchen and bathroom updates may be the most important due to some info I've found online, so I suppose I should look for places that look bad in this regard.
