But it continues to puzzle me whenever I hear a new investor telling me that they want to get MFH to start without much exposure to REI. 

What's your exposure to the U.S.?

If you aren't out there screwing people, most of your exposure is from frivolous suits and accidents.

It is usually not suggested to put property that tends to appreciate within a C-Corp.Whether to put each property within a different LLC or within 1 LLC depends on your Risk exposure and your Risk appetite.Putting all your properties within 1 LLC exposes all your properties if you get sued.

The second pillar is a good insurance policy as that covers the majority of your exposure.

@Victoria Winters I'm heavily involved in hotels, currently on the construction front but have quite a bit exposure to the investment side.  

I have limited exposure into fire damage, which is why I'm not diving right into it just yet. 

Maximize the exposure of your listing, take good photos, and have the rent reflect the value your providing based on the comps.Personally I prefer to buy vacant properties so I can screen the tenants myself and if I want to make improvements to the units I can do that immediately & sign the lease for market rent.

I likely could have lowered my prices more, but this is a side hustle and I didn't see the need to increase my exposure risk, at least until more was known about COVID. 

It looks really bad for an elected district judge when people die of exposure in cars or on park benches in their district because they were evicted.
