We are in Denver, our market is a little different than a cashflow market like Cleveland. 

You have to talk with your mortgage providers to see if they are allowing you to move them to an LLC.In rental is good to have an LLC for liability however for taxes there isn't a big difference in small investments.Your credit report won't show the mortgage anymore but you still have the liability in your history.

Also, that property is 4 hours away from my primary residence.  

Some crowdfunding platforms end up really not knowing who or what you are investing inThere are also many different types of crowdfunding.

You will meet people from different walks of life that will give you different perspectives on real estate investing.

DSCR Seems like the best product, at lower leverage I have some rates that are even beating rates on primary homes, would love to connect and discuss a bit further.

I just wanted to ask if there is a different way to do this.

Prices should not be different across multiple platforms and if they are they amount will be negligible. 2.

If I want to continue to live in my primary residence AND now rent out a portion of it to a renter, am I able to do so? 

The difference in the two rates was whether the property would be considered urban or rural.
