They would like around 2k a month preferably less but willing to go a little higher.

I think I prefer mentality, even though they are almost synonymous.

I thought maybe he preferred the tax benefits that selling the llc offered (?).

What we found is that different areas (even locally) have different preferred sites. 

We’re looking for a property that fits the following criteria:- Value between 18-28 million- Located in a red state with good landlord-tenant laws (Texas and Idaho are our preference) - If Texas, not near the boarder, San Antanio or Houston area.

I'd prefer not to put my life on hold because of this.

He's got 24 with a few being multis idk how he does it but that's his preference. just signed a new 1yr lease and told current owner she didn't want to leave she'll just renew with new owner.

This type of loan product prefers LLC vesting and is designed for investors but 6 partners is tricky.

Just preference.

Otherwise my preference is to invest locally.
