About 50% of investors use them.The biggest issue is that although many recommend the perceived protection of a LLC none have ever posted first hand experience of ever having needed the protection.

I am new, but when evaluating properties I use the 1% rule.

We are in the process of selling a home and wondered if anyone can clarify on the detail of the 2 out of 5 year rule.  

opportunity cost is is higher than interest costs go 30 year, unless they let you get a 50!

So basically is there a set rule that says if a new tenant moves in under a new lease that I cannot raise rent to market, in this case it would be almost double. thanks for taking the time to chime in anyway. all input is appreciated  

@Lesley Smith Check the rules and regulations of the park.

Let's pretend it's a generous 1 yr CD with no early withdrawal penalty.7 year CD: 2% and penalized six months of interest if you pull funds out early.If you pull funds out after exactly 12 months, it's a wash:1 yr CD @ 1 yr: $10k * 1% = $100.7 yr CD @ 1 yr with penalty: $10k * 2% - [$10k * 2% / 2] = $100.After 18 months...1 yr CD @ 1.5 years: $10k * 1% * 1.5 years = $150.7 yr CD @ 1.5 years and penalized six months of interest: $10k * 2% * 1.5 years - [$10k * 2% * 0.5 years] = $200.So there's your low risk / low reward "CD hacking" tip of the day to get rich by earning an extra $50 on $10k after a year and a half.

@Janett McWilliams, I can say as a general rule that you will have better terms and more money to be accessed if you individually refi each property individually unless you have > 10 properties, usually >20.
