I understand I'm going to need more partners on commercial to afford it but at the end of the day, will my ROI be similar to residential one.Is there considerably less maintenance on commercial properties (as a tenant will be responsible for maintaining the property, for example, a restaurant owner will be responsible if a water leak is caused by an employee in the kitchen versus a residential apartment tenant, will call me and I have to get it fixed).I hope my question is not too complicated, all opinions are welcomed.

And, in many states you know that established equity requires foreclosure and in any state, the deed can be attacked and force a judicial process.

I personally recommend against maximizing your leverage but using some judiciously I feel is an intelligent choice.

I realize this creates complications and could be frought with certain issues, but like you said- the team is key.

Seems a bit complicated for me at this stage of my real estate investor career.

Some estates are really complicated and go on forever.So maybe you'll hear from a successor trustee, maybe you'll hear from a lawyer, maybe you'll hear from an executor, maybe you'll hear from a public administrator.

A llc, unless you have substantial net worth is an unnecessary and complicating expense.

And you can usually get this done for 200 to 500 buckaroos.. ( simple LLC with a non complicated operating agreement) However umbrella insurance is cheap and is a must have if your going to be doing a lot of bizz in my mind...

This was the most complicated aspect of the paperwork.

@David Krulac boy your tax sales are sure complicated .
