Our licensing "training" does not spend a single minute on how rental income works in the mortgage math, kind of like if you could become a nurse without knowing how to give CPR or something. 

Hello BP, I'm thinking about purchasing a Single Family Home that has a Mother-In-Law apartment in it solely for use as a rental. 

I have done this numerous times with single-family properties, but is it common in larger multi-family properties?

Goal:Get money out of this house without paying capital gains taxes or having to do another 1031 exchange like I did on another house a year ago.Background:-I bought the single family home in mid August 2014.

I use 5/10 for maintenance/management on my single family homes.  

Im a single parent of two lovely children and I want to be self employed in the next 2 to 5 years.

Yes there are many vendors who will accept online payment, you don't even need to find a single person if you can assess the problem from a distance. 

Hello All,I'll be visiting Austin from August 2, 2018 - August 5, 2018.I'm sort of new to rentals and I was looking on gaining some insight for single-family to multifamily housing in/near or around Downtown Austin.Anyone in town and would like to talk investments/partnering, over some drinks?

So if you can position your assets into a single family with minimal debt you'll be correction resistant. 

The easiest options i have used are:- go to a bank, put down 20% on a 30/30 loan and transfer it to a single user LLC, make sure they are cool with that transfer prior to purchasing.
