There are two types of financing people call assuming the loan. 1.

I know businesses do it but I would rather directly support the causes I believe in.

I was considering going into real estate investing because I would like to cut out the middle man ( the broker that is) lol and have some diversity with my license, not just helping people buy and sell houses.

I have a Series LLC I use to collect income for my consulting business, but the income goes to my personal checking account.

I’m a builder and investor, I tell a lot of people the best way to invest into real estate at this time is to build it.

But yes, I have some tenants that I've had for 8+ years now and I've had to raise their rents twice to near market because...as I told them...insurance and taxes have gone up, and the property operates at a loss, it's a business and I must raise rents to stay afloat. 

If it is a shed where people need not live in, it may work.   

I had the same apprehension about section 8 that many people might have but my experience has been the opposite of any negative stereotypes. 

The answer will be dependent on your fact pattern, so a general forum like this may not be able to answer such a broad question.With regard to the LLC structure, note that CA does not recognize series LLCs, and CA tends to have a broad opinion of what constitutes "doing business" in the state, and therefore, what LLCs need to report with the CA Secretary of State and file appropriate tax returns.
