I typically like to take title via Land trusts and have the beneficial interest go to the LLC ...is it better to have the beneficial interest go to individual instead of my LLC that holds the rentals?

The only reason I ask this is after using Investor Carrot you may have build a presence (Brand) on the web using their site and having people go top your IC site and if you decide to cancel their product you will be forced to start over another site to build that Presence on the web again. 

I believe you made the right choice by giving them back atleast something so they wouldn't feel too bad. when it comes to newly mothers having premature labor, they can tie it to the chemicals from the pest control, unless you are using eco friendly 100% natural product, either way it can fall back on you.

All units electric individually metered with all other utilities being sub-net split between residences makes for higher returns.

I as a landlord am a private individual, not the government.... so an inspection of my property by me (the owner) is reasonable.

We sincerely hope our story and success motivates others!!!! 

You can create one property management LLC and one series LLC to hold each property in an individual series.

Obviously, individual preferences, goals and risk tolerances play a key role. 

Not saying it's not possible, but this is likely the hangup. buying cash and then cash-out refi is easy and done all day, even with commercial loans, but likely all will want you to carry some liability in some form (skin in the game) that said, I'm just one lender I can't speak for all of them  Ira or solo 401k are not allow to have recourse loans this is a tough loan product..

Some sellers aren't very motivated, some are.
