Hey Ben, I personally invest in the Columbus market and have been doing it for the past couple years.

Mom could move in with elderly person and live for free in exchange for room board and cash salary?

I've personally transacted on a house + ADU + JADU that was rented to three separate tenants.

House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

Personally, I invest in Worcester however in Fitchburg, you can get cheaper properties for similar rents hence the numbers do make sense. 

They have 6-8 in person events, every month. 

When looking at an LLC, or any entity structuring, there are two angles to consider: tax benefits and asset protection.I frequently see asset protection lawyers recommend an LLC for each rental property owned for liability purposes.

Personally, I know a LOT of people are expecting cuts to start happening in June but with the spring market being hot here in Winnipeg and with the recent carbon tax increase I could see inflation staying high forcing the BOC to keep the prime rate where it is.

You can close in an LLC with a DSCR loan, but DSCR would not be an option if you plan to occupy since it's a business purpose loan - you'd have to rent out both units. 

Personally - I think its hard to invest with zero or little funds.
