Many of which is already found in traditional rental agreements.

Buy and hold MFH is my strategy.After a few months I found a property which would meet my requirement of 15% CCR with traditional financing.

Paying a buyer's agent 3% is far more palatable to me than the traditional alternative.

Traditionally a mentor is not a paid position and good investors  dont sell good leads. 

Traditional banks with Fannie / Freddie / conventional loan types will sometimes push back on the LLC issue, but there is a BIG world of funding and lending for investors outside of that box.  

I don't flip, but from my understanding you would not use a traditional bank to get these loans unless your rehab is over 6 months, you would use a Hard Money Lender.For long term buy and hold I would leverage the duplex and buy more properties, and then I would use the profit from wholesaling and flipping to buy more properties.  

@Chuck Wiggins I've heard of rental loss insurance for property damage, but not for rent (unless of a traditional insurance claim).  

If I was renting to traditional private pay tenants Germantown might not be my area of focus.

We know it makes for a slow start, but we don't have the traditional 20% down nor the reserves to take on reno.

Normally I don't socialize with my tenants but they were paid up for the next 6 months so I decided to take him up on it.We had such a good time we decided to make a weekly tradition of going out for wings and by the end of the lease we had become such good friends not only did we get wings weekly but they also invited me to go on vacation with them and they invited me to be a part of their wedding at an inclusive resort.They only rented from me for 14 months and they got a heck of a deal but they are now lifelong friends.
