Hello Friends,I own a 1982-built ground-level condo (one unit above, one below).

I've owned 2 houses in College Station/Bryan (Texas A&M University) for 8 years.

Again, I would say there is no one size fits all, as each have their own risks, i.e. floating rate has interest rate exposure (a rate cap is just a prepayment of that exposure and is temporary), but fixed rate has prepayment penalties.  

My cost wont necessarily be the same or comparable as I GC my own projects and have trade skills.

Some will say its better to have it in a LLC and the trust own the LLC.

Right, but to get an ARV close to $130k, you'll probably need rent to be close to $1,300 unless you can sell it to a retail buyer, which could be a big risk on its own. 

That being said, if you're 23 and you don't own a home, I really do recommend starting with a house hack as you don't need the 25% down capital to get started and you kill 2 birds with one stone by getting a rental and having a roof over your head. 

I own a house in North Port, Florida (right on the border of Port Charlotte).

We are a Veteran owned and operated mortgage company! 

@Brice Alef-Torrisi putting each property in its own LLC is usually overkill.Getting a bank account for each LLC is typically something you need to do to avoid "piercing of the LLC corporate veil" (actually depends on tax selection you made for LLC), but is also overkill.You haven't indicated how you are holding the deed for the latest property.If in your name or same LLC, you don't need a separate bank account.If in separate LLC, you can create a Master LLC, have each property LLC hire the Master LLC to manage their affairs, and just get a bank account for Master LLC.This is an opinion, not advice, so lookup CPA Frank Alcini in Troy for expert advice.
