However, the convenience can be a slippery slope, and as @John Thedford said, it encumbers your primary residence.  

This will make it more convenient for us.

@MarieChele PorterPM me at your convenience.

I find it easier and more convenient for all parties to do this electronically.  

Here is a quick description:6 Plex located in Gainesville, Florida, C/B on bottom, behind Oaksmall, convenient to UF, malls, and shopping centers.

Given both of our work schedules we felt that having a PM would be the most convenient.  

I also like properties located conveniently to Wilma Rudolph Blvd., Tiny Town Rd., or Madison St. as those are main roads for shopping and restaurants.One last suggestion would be to cross-check any address you are interested in against the crime data.

I thought it would be a good investment area because it's so convenient to downtown.

Also, I know there is a convenience by doing the LLC in your home state but is there more of a benefit to doing it in other states?

To compensate sellers very often don't mention these expenses in calculating the Net Operating Income (NOI), instead they offer proforma numbers that conveniently leave out such costs and thus make the income seem higher.
