LLC for investment property - One LLC for multiple properties or individual LLC for each property? 

There are so many lanes for success investing in real estate, it really comes down to your individual skills set.

You likely signed a document at closing that says if you owe any more money that was missed you are still liable and will make appropriate payment to appropriate individual or entity.

Out of those 3 for a hack I would prefer the Springs.

A solid deal is at lest 20% below market (really I prefer at least 25%) after all costs.

The definition of accredited investor will be updated to include "an individual determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to have qualifying education or experience."

The most thorough checklist will be hiring a property inspector to check each unit individually.

This would either be living in a home that you can rehab as you live there (preferably for 2 years for the home gain exclusion so you never have to pay tax on the gain up to $250k or $500k if filing joint taxes) OR buying a multi-unit property and living in one of the units and renting the other ones (you can get conventional residential financing up to 4 units).
