But this makes the mortgage payment higher and potentially limits cash flow or puts you negative.  

@Carlos Ptriawan Well put.

Let's say $350K, 50K down, seller financing at 6% IR with a 5 year balloon.Let's say I start to shop around and to transition from seller financing to traditional financing because I found a 5% IR, I am essentially refinancing and putting the loan on the books.

I put a Wi-Fi remote thermostat in her house so I always know what the temperature is upstairs and when it gets too hot I just closed the dampener in the basement and the furnace.

Aside from the horrible context you put the good news in; I do commend you on a successful forray into real estate investing and encourage you to do it again.

One LLC for a pool of assets means if you get sued at one, they can take others.When I first started buying rentals, I was all in on properties about $40k, so I put a bunch into one LLC.  

One of the biggest hurdles in my opinion is actually putting yourself out there and doing what you say you are going to do.

It's arbitrary, capricious and detrimental to your business interests and the right of the tenant to be treated in a fair, consistent manner.If you take the cotton out of your ears and put it into your mouth you can learn something here.

i had a few miscellaneous thoughts and reactions-unless you employ a creative strategy or are making a value add play, it's going to take a while to recoup whatever money you put down.
