But it happens in the bond market too, and bonds are more similar to homes than stocks, they trade in large blocks, some aren’t super liquid, but still, bonds don’t have leaky roofs and you can buy and sell them way faster than you can buy and sell a home.

Meaning they have good cash reserves / liquidation?

I have like ZERO bad debt, no car loans, no personal loans, like 3k in credit cards which I can pay off at any second, im insanely underleveraged on my investment real estate, have 820k in cash liquid, among other liquid assets like silver bullion, crypto, ect.

It then shows up on my Schedule E as a management fee. 

It's one tool for asset protection, but not nearly as good as structuring your LLC, and then even putting THAT within an LLC.Dave E., thanks for that info re commercial lenders not touching a SFH.

I am also wondering how to come to a valuation, since I would be buying more than just the property (it is fully booked for the holiday season and the sale also includes all FF&E).

I have $100k in liquid assets, a good debt:equity, and solid credit score.

I learned quite a bit with the purchase including how much you can really leverage your debt in order to limit your liquidity exposure.

Hi there - what is your favorite tool to find property owner contact information.
