I opened a new host account to handle guest interactions myself, hired a local handyman for emergencies, and found a cleaning person who could also act as my eyes and ears for any required handyman services.

I am personally an example of the whole thing.

Hi Kenny-Great question about whether you should put a house you plan to live in and rent out parts to others in an LLC.Certainly putting it in an LLC would help with asset protection and limiting personal liability.However, you may lose the ability to claim the part of the house you live in as homesteaded tax rather than the higher non-homestead investment property tax for the entire property in an LLC.

Any recommendations for someone experienced with creative financing in Riverside?

Asset Protection:While owning properties in your own names may have tax advantages, it does expose you to personal liability.

@Zhen Yuango look in person. 

Personally, I've been in the mobile home investing space since 2007 without going the section 8 route.

The housing market experienced an unprecedented boom during the low interest rate period, leading to inflated prices and unsustainable growth.

We have not seen the property value decreases so far that some other areas of the country have experienced.

The seller has pulled back and is not interested in meeting in person at this time.
