Some of the larger expenses-Interior/Exterior Paint, Storm shutters for a few of the front large windows, added additional cabinets to one unit, New refrigerator from Dent/Scratch store after old one died, Laundry units that tenant pays +$50/mo for etc.

The additional expense of becoming an agent is prohibitive for me.

Great deal.NO money down and nothing to looseJust kidding you must have hit send to early

I may pick that up next, just wanted to get some additional options.As the title says, post your favorite or most influential Multi-family/commercial investing book here.

@Derek LesterFollowing the fine example of @Joel Florek, let me just say that different things work for different types of investors and in addition every area is different.

Hello BiggerPockets community,I'm a new to real estate and was hoping to get some advice on AirBNBing in Asheville NC.The reason for my inquiry is because I'm hoping to buy a house and use AirBNB to househack it.If any additional info is needed please let me know.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank You,Evan Morales

They claim hundreds if not thousands of dollars of clothing is ruined and the kids (not the mom really) are making this difficult.

So should each additional LLC have it's own Name?

That would be a very appropriate 1031 exchange scenario.If you go the 1031 route you will pay no tax and that tax will go forward as additional purchasing power for you. 

We had a blast and my kids loved it too, but there wasn't much financial return besides appreciation...time to sell!
