I told them that it was a better idea that, instead of buying a home first, we can buy an investment property and keep renting after we build some equity, sell it and put the down payment for 2 houses or a duplex and live in one and rent the other one (for me, i could keep renting until we buy a lot of investment properties and then move to one of them), but my family wants to buy a home firts and then the investment property.Can someone give me a light of what is better or the pros and cons.Thank you so much.

Why not just do 2 SEPARATE agreements. 1.

We have a revocable living trust already, but our rentals are in our name.Now, for asset protection, I would like to form an LLC and move the properties to the LLC. 

I moved on.

I'm a landlord and home owner but my girlfriend and I are planning to move to LA in July and rent a place. 

Smart money move. 

if you bid and win and its not occupied, move in or rent it or sell it.

Hello all,A lateral move with my current employer has my family moving to North Carolina. 

Our factories dissolved or moved in the 90's and 00's and Grand Rapids has reinvented its self as the center for medicine, education, technology and most importantly beer (Beer City).Grand Rapids Michigan has been in the top 10 for rankings in the country for almost 10 years in multiple categories.  

My tenant did not provide a forwarding address when they moved out.
