I do anticipate having a cash price and an owner carry price/option, with a sizable down payment. 

I will be in Nevada sometime in March 2019.I intend on using my VA Home loan for the first time, also this will be my first time buying a home.One of my priorities is to minimize out of pockets costs as much as possible, so far, I'm qualified for these resources:-Home is Possible for Heroes-Mortgage Credit Certificate-*MHAF (military housing assistance fund) *So far, in my interaction with my POC for MHAF, it seems to be an exclusive program.

@Tre Holland I don’t want to assume anything that you didn’t have time to include in your posting but some research at the county and building departments would let you know if there are any code violations against the property as well as open/expired permits.These are things you want to know about upfront and not wait on the title company to research and disclose close to the anticipated closing date.

I saw another BP member post an incredible interactive map for Indianapolis and it got me started trying to make one for SATX.

Since you are putting aside almost $650 a month for repairs and CapEx, I would think you are anticipating some work in the near future or the property is older.There are so many what ifs and other factors that go into each property.

Obviously every situation is different, but I've kicked myself in the butt for passing on deals that were $5K more than I wanted to spend, or when I anticipated having to do roof work in the next year or two. 

For instance, like when a small business owner will let the crazy cat guy post a flyer of his missing cat on the front door without a second thought while conversely, the big corporate stores have thought-out and decided-on policies and protocols against such small community interactions/sentiments...found that out this week.

Here are my opinions about the subject after speaking to numerous clients and investors about the subject:LLCs (if they are run properly and you keep everything separate) do provide a measure of protection and they are worth the trouble (when you reach a certain point).Basically, when you are starting out, probably keeping it out of LLCs and getting lots of insurance coverage will get you better loan terms (as the other posters have already outlined and as you figured out as well).However, at some point, you should anticipate the need (and desire) to switch over to puttin your future investments (but not your past ones) into LLCs.LLCs are also important if you are bringing in outside investors.

The end result is alway a good outcome but it's not the first interaction.

You must actually take a live class where there is an instructor available; (or go to a real estate office and watch videos) I find I like it better because of the interaction with the Instructor and other students (its been a great way to network with some of them).I did earlier this year take online for my mortgage license and found it difficult to get questions answered right away.
