Hi, thanks for the reply, I was testing the calculator and posted the results by accident.

I'm at a place where we own a few properties and a business that is on auto pilot, but it took about 17 years of work to get to this point.

We’ve gone from two full-time jobs to one and we’ve become accredited investors almost by accident.

You could also do it and suddenly his old patterns begin to emerge and you have a real problem on your hands.Now, having said all that I am going to contradict what I just said, sort of, I have an acquaintance I know who killed someone in a drunk driving accident many years ago.

My long term rentals are mostly on auto pilot.

Usually there is a complaint and/or an unfortunate or deadly accident that brings these thing to attentions.

Unless a project is large enough to support professional management, I suggest you stick to an area of up to 50 miles from your base.If it cannot support professional management, buying out of your area all too often is a (financial) accident waiting to happen.As your experience grows and you refine your investment goals, let the demographics and economic numbers of the day guide you on markets.

Home, auto, boat, Dwelling/fire. etc...) are exhausted by a covered loss.

I'm not a lawyer so definitely take anything I say with a grain of salt but you are more likely to get into a car accident and hurt someone pretty badly than have a tenant sue you...someone you hurt in a car accident can come after you and everything you own, so having all your properties in several LLCs will not save you in that scenario but having great insurance just might...Of course to get the most protection possible is usually having a good combo of corporate structure and decent insurance but when costs start to add up and you only have one property to start with you have to see what gives you the most protection and bang for your buck.Good Luck :)

Meant to leave off the repeat in the title, left off the refi part by accident.
