The area itself it generally safe.

I would prefer Multifamily homes, but they are quick to leave the market these days, so if I can’t acquire one, then a SFH with enough rooms to rent to others.

It is quick and likely less expensive than refinancing.

Our spaces have leased up quickly and easily via word-of-mouth/social media/networking to date, but they’ve also been smaller, less expensive, rehabbed spaces and very comparable to everything else on our few block long stretch of commercial storefronts.

Also if they are trying to mow really long grass or wet grass the electric ones don't have the same power and they could kill it quickly, leaving me stuck replacing it. 

My plan is to get the properties in my name this way and then quick claim deed them over to a LLC although I know that I probably wont be able to do that.2.

And for the content it should really be quick to the point about what you are trying to do.

Just to be safe expect 30% down + closing cost and reserves. 

Mortgage payments on a personal home is a relativly safe place to launder unclaimed income.

That allowed me to quickly see where my income was coming from and where my expenses were going out.
