If you say that the land is worth the value of the land minus the cost of scrapping the homes and maintaining the property (taxes, utilities, dealing with the tenants) while you do it.  

I've decided the best investment for my retirement is one that I will always maintain 100% control of.  

Property taxes are high in Shaker... but they maintain the city very well.... and its a decent to good school system... and the School system just got a new Superintendent and new principal at the High school ... so well see how things workout!

Those items all make for a heating & cooling thermal load that essentially gives you the amount of cooling or heating BTU load required to maintain the occupied area. 

It will go on easy, and best of all it will be easy to maintain!

Nice area and well maintained property.  

It's not that a lender is saying you won't be able to maintain those clients or those level of sales- it's that there's little historical data of you doing this.

I sat down with my accountant today and discussed hope to maintain my investor status while I transition to a full time investor.

You can get business liability insurance for your LLC and you want to maintain good personal coverage and have an umbrella policy, though in my experience they limit the number of covered rentals and won't extend coverage to being sued personally for business activities (i.e. stuff you LLC does).As for an LLC you should get the same protection regardless of what state you set it up in as long as you maintain it correctly.  

The main con is the costs of maintaining your license.
