@Ryan Chaney whether you decide to go the LLC route or not you still need an umbella policy for protection.

Since the street is a public street I can't really assign specific parking for the tenants (other the the spot in the driveway to one unit). 

Didn't know it would make a public post!

As of last September, 99% of applicants in the public service loan forgiveness program were rejected. 10-20 years is a long time to carry that burden to not have it turn out the way you plan. 

When it comes to leases if you are going to customize them I would highly recommend having your attorney take a quick look, I know here in Oregon the laws tend to protect the tenant more so making sure you and your investment are protected should be your top priority and those forms are what is going to protect you the most.

that seems like overkill.One other thing to be cognizant about is that California normally has a $800 minimum fee associated with most returns.Asset protection is important and should be discussed with an attorney.

Even if it's not an attorney, it should be a title company and I'd prefer something like ATG (which again, may be more like IL thing) that is giving you a policy on that so you are protected.

I've listed them in my profile but, being new here, I am not yet comfortable publicly posting the financials.

If you lose, the tenant could stay and cost you much, much more.Using an attorney protects you and it's a great way to learn the process so you can do it alone in the future.

I give furniture sliders.... to protect my floors!
