This blog begins to touch on some of the benefits and planning to achieve privacy: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/anonymity-asset-protection-dummies-avoid-law-suitsThe LLC or trust, even if not private, helps to limit liability to the properties in the entity. 

I've been visiting BP for 3 or so years now and have been very impressed with how the majority of my inquiries had already been addressed within other discussion boards or within the excellent blog posts. 

Lastly, many towns in NH are just now waking up to the reality of what’s happening elsewhere in the world with vacation rental platforms and enacting knee-jerk restrictions on < 30 day rentals more out of fear than the reality of independent owners committed to making a modest income or adding to the spectrum of hospitality options in their region.

I have still seen substantial appreciation in my investment homes, but  probably more modest than here in the coastal west, but have enjoyed double digit cash on cash returns from rental income along the way. 

The point is that too many real estate blogs and forums say “never put real estate in an s corp”, but in reality there are plenty of reasons why you would want to use an s corp for optimal asset protection and tax strategy.

Hey @Luke Fouch @Brandon Hall has a great Blog about it check it out... 

Here is solid blog that outlines questions to ask a property management company: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/10/3...From my own experience, one of the biggest things is to make sure their bread-n-butter aligns with your properties - meaning if you have SFH and duplexes, you probably shouldn't pick a company that specializes in 8+ units, even if they look awesome. 

I have been trolling this site for awhile now, eagerly learning from all the discussions and blogs this site has to offer.
