Maybe worrying for nothing but food for thought.trust owns property ---- MMLLC holds beneficial interest in trust ----- MMLLC "membership" is made up of my single member LLC's Obviously everything is based on risk exposure and risk tolerance.

We never seem to have any tenants tell us it was either food or rent. they know if they pay rent they can still eat.

Also the more expensive homes can be good rentals also but realize that the higher up the "food chain" you get the more challenging it is to find qualified renters to put in your property. 

Grace Porritt ,it is illegal to host an open house for a Realtor all by yourself without a license.Under the law you can do everything for the Realtor except talk to the visitors about the property or attempt to persuade anyone to buy that property or any other property.You can serve food and drinks,set up and take down the signs around the neighborhood,Greet guests and have them sign the registry,keep their children occupied while the Realtors work with the adults,and basically guard the front door while the Realtor walks through the property with the guests.You can never answer any questions whatsoever about the property.You basically have to say " the Realtor will be with you shortly" and "Thanks for visiting today".

Food for thought (in case you're losing sleep over the subject): If your landlord preferred a one year lease he would not have allowed the mtm....unless your lease was up in Dec. and May in your market is the best time for turnovers.

There may be something I am missing here too so take this with a grain of salt. 

R.K. wrote a nice book that's easy for people to understand, but he's a guru that made his money selling his books (that gained success through Amway) not from actual real estate so I'd take his predictions with a grain of salt, and a shot of tequila.Even if the market is crashing, if you find a solid deal that cash flows well, rents don't drop much in downturns, and you can always hold through them if you're not overleveraged.

The biggest way to maximize cash flow is by leveraging-- rather than paying cash for a property or two.Check this out-https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/04/1...In there it breaks down the math differences between paying cash and leveraging.Just food for thought!

Here is some food for thought.  

Some food concepts do about 60 to 70% of sales through the drive-thru now so want to shrink interior space so they pay less rent.
