Asset-Level Risk.

A lot of you guys are running huge risks with violations.

I don't want to expose my family to unnecessary risk/leverage, but I also want to build on the momentum.I would be very grateful to hear the thoughts of this community on how to stay on the gas and not hit the breaks for at least a year and risk losing any momentum.

My daughter is a 2% shareholder in X LLC, which greatly reduces my audit risk. 

If you really want to gamble your risks would be lower at the race track.

As for the "feel like I am buying a safe investment but not achieving a high yielding asset", well that's kind of how investments work, more risk=higher potential return (higher yield) the lower the risk generally = the lower return. 

It's those maniacs that buy homes cash via quit claim deed off of craigslist that really get screwed.Make sure your property manager is a licensed real estate brokerage.Understand you can not eliminate all risk, only mitigate it.

You should have your legal and/or tax advisors review the proposed transaction to determine what the risks to you might be and then decide whether to move forward. 

I’ve found single family townhomes ranging from 100,000-200,000, and then I find 3, 4 unit homes in established areas (canton, federal hill, locust point fells point) and also somewhat established (Bolton hill, pigtown, hollins market, etc), but those multiunits are ranging from 300,000 to 400,000, rent in area ranging from 700-1200 a unit, but 0 down and me having a 4K reserve to work with for tenant expenses and fees, my heart says just do it take the risk, have the cash flow pay for mortgage and I save my own money into reserve ASAP,  but my mind says not a good idea to buy the multi ill be in over my head, stick to the affordable single family property, hopefully it appreciates and start rent when you leave the property.
