Some of the larger expenses-Interior/Exterior Paint, Storm shutters for a few of the front large windows, added additional cabinets to one unit, New refrigerator from Dent/Scratch store after old one died, Laundry units that tenant pays +$50/mo for etc.

The additional expense of becoming an agent is prohibitive for me.

I may pick that up next, just wanted to get some additional options.As the title says, post your favorite or most influential Multi-family/commercial investing book here.

Immediate goal:I'm currently not employed.

@Derek LesterFollowing the fine example of @Joel Florek, let me just say that different things work for different types of investors and in addition every area is different.

Hello BiggerPockets community,I'm a new to real estate and was hoping to get some advice on AirBNBing in Asheville NC.The reason for my inquiry is because I'm hoping to buy a house and use AirBNB to househack it.If any additional info is needed please let me know.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank You,Evan Morales

@Lino B. that is an additional indictment of your managerial skills.Serve them with a notice to cease and quit.

So should each additional LLC have it's own Name?

That would be a very appropriate 1031 exchange scenario.If you go the 1031 route you will pay no tax and that tax will go forward as additional purchasing power for you. 

The difference in costs was close to an additional 600 per unit.
