I also felt the flexibility of doing them individually could be worth it in the long run.  

The MTR strategy also requires a little more effort to source tenants.

As an individual, it is hard to open an efficient, responsible, profitable out of state network because as an individual you do not provide that much value for an agent or a contractor to run around and cater to you.But when you are part of a group that closed on over 4 million in real estate in six months and brought in over one million in local rehab dollars and put 50+ people to work and paid the city inspection office for all the permits, inspections, and reports then people cater you to. 

Modern kitchens require 8 separate circuits minimum.Using licensed Contractors also I would assume?

If a better state for landlord, maybe see if you can find a different insurance coverage and/or if tenant will pay difference in premium to cover, then require high liability in renter’s policy.

It does not require the seller to pay it, nor does it require the buyer pay it directly.

It may require enough interchanging knowledge and interest in a long run for it to happen more often, maybe that's why it's less likely for now

I'm seeking guidance regarding my initial rental property, which requires significant repairs.

If an LLC owns the property, then there is no exemption on gain for the residence because that code section applies only to individuals.

I have owned single family section 8 rentals in the past, and while it was pretty straight forward, each jurisdiction likely has their own requirements and processes.In Cincinnati, again, I was buying properties on the MLS, they used to (maybe still do) use gosection8.com for LLs to list their properties.
