If you're the kind of person that needs hard math and graphing to understand things, this is completely the book you need on building wealth through duplex living.If your wife is behind you in this idea, and can see it as a move to financial independence, congratulations, you're in the small minority, as I am.

Hello,I have two investment SFH but they are under my personal name.

This will allow you to keep your personal name of the articles of organization.  

I know a few good realtors in Miami that love their current brokerages if you're looking for any personal connections! 

Personally no, but it's just something I don't like to deal with. 

Since I'll be living in one of the units, my personal preference is to find something on the newer side, which would likely mean higher rent/unit but I'm worried the higher price point would limit the tenant pool. 

I would stay personally liable for the mortgage. 

If so, that is the easiest-just say you had a number of applicants and you've rented it to another person. 

I do not have any LLC, was thinking to close in my personal name.

Should still have about $175k in capital on hand after adding what we will personally save from our budget during this time frame also.
