The main idea is to buy a property that you can use as an investment as well as your primary residence.

The area has a lot of slumlords that just don't give a ****, and they are also mainly older landlords that want to retire and have been doing it for years.  

Will this increase my property value or should I just think of it as a rental unit/place for me to live while I rent out the main house?

Karen, I won't be attending but I can recommend a tip that could save you thousands of dollars: Leave your credit cards at home.Most of the free / low cost seminars give you a few crumbs of information but are mainly sales presentations designed to "upsell" you on more expensive "boot camps" and/or "mentoring programs".They all follow the same classic sales formula, they'll tell you that it normally costs $X (you can even go on their website and see that price) but "today only" or "only for the first N people to sign up" they're putting on a special deal.They'll do the whole "this is how much it would cost individually but here's an incredible package deal" etc.

The main idea behind this was that as a small llc with a single member there would be a good chance that a judge could likely pierce the corporate veil negating the any protection the llc provided.His argument seemed reasonable enough, so I'm wondering what everyone's take is on this?
