For asset protection, LLCs are over-hyped - you just need good insurance.Set up correctly, an LLC may give you decent anonymity, so tenants don't know you're the owner and can't track you down to retaliate (happened to my manager). 

Just be sure to thoroughly vet the operator’s track record and the deal structure.

Quote from @Tim Casey: Hi there...you're definitely on the right track with your investment strategy.Selling your Atlanta property might be a smart move, especially considering your ARM and the potential for rising interest rates.

I use Stessa only for the tracking feature (transactions).

My suggestion is to look for someone with a strong track record in investment properties, ideally someone who has successful investments themselves.

You can do this without a coin-op feature, but then you have to bill the tenants for small amounts which is just one more thing to have to track and follow-up on.

And, comment to all, is there any ability to track these assets and see who owns the notes right now?

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

, total paid I also have a tab for maintenance to that specific unit Was wondering what other things you guys might recommend keeping track of?

sounds like you are on the right track - house hacking or BRRRR to jumpstart the journey is a pretty solid tried and true gameplan
