Yes, the upstairs needed it, but tearing out the downstairs not only cost a lot that was not in my budget, but also greatly added to the cost of the rehab.I kept asking Chris when the Spokane house was going to be done; he told me he needed more money.

Also, it's likely that a slightly smaller amount of each payment will go toward principal since the loan balance is higher and the rates are likely nearly the same once the MI of 0.5% is added to the rate.

We used to try to offer to comp and cancel right away if they were a pain so their stay would be eliminated, but I don't know if you still can do that.

I did a comping analysis and this would cash flow as is and do well with some added amenities I plan to add to it. 

The Due On Sale clause was added I think in the 1980s because of "sub-to" deals.

Search markets that work for your goals then eliminate from your list the ones that will not fit with your lifestyle.  

We eventually plan on adding more properties and its not whether we should or should not create an llc, I believe we are set on it.

If I were a business, I would have added significant penalties to the landlord for breaking the lease.

I'm currently reading David Greene's book on BRRRR and was curious about how you all go about planning or visualizing added rooms to potential purchases. 

Adding in the layer of not being on the loan but holding title just sounds like it will eventually lead to problems like OP experienced.
