Both an IRA and 401k can leverage with a mortgage, so long as the mortgage is non-recourse - meaning no personal guarantee from you.  

This formalizes the relationship and segregates the rental income from my personal income.Banking and Accounting:Separate Accounts: Open a separate bank account for the LLC.

You can attend their online meeting or in person when they start up again.

Maybe $50-$100.More importantly, is get this person out.

Our personal house in a really nice neighborhood has actually appreciated less on a percentage basis than some of our cheaper rental properties in the same amount of time. 

I'm reducing the footprint and repricing.... finally a smart person. our floorplan for each unit we build is 668 sq ft and 2 beds for that exact same reason. people that Aren't in cheap markets don't understand. in columbus we face appraisal issues if we don't keep it as small as possible. 

(This is obviously a simplification; one must consider risk, personal comfort, ability to manage, etc.).The wealth builder should always consider selling or trading his property for a property that will increase his net worth FASTER.  

The LLC is a legal entity separate from your personal self.
