I figured its a win win, they get to invest into some real-estate and grow their retirement as well as it will lighten my investment and potentially allow me to get into a better property that would cash flow/appreciate better.Does anyone have personal experiences or opinions on this?

It could very well be the route that is "cheapest" now, ends up being substantially more expensive down the road.If the costs above are not worth it to you...maybe pass on the LLC and get yourself a good insurance policy, and maybe an umbrella policy personally.

ToniThose are really solid tips!

Some buy and hold investors may have outdated beat up buildings that can't be sold conventionally without repair and your flipping operation with the right agent may just happen upon that deal for working with that person.

Quote from @Jason Watson: Other people in the lending space might have better answers, but some lenders quote taxes, insurance, etc. to fully understand the monthly cash burden and ensure you know it as well. that is correct Jason, I personally like it better like that so I can actually see what my payment is after everything is said and done. 

However, (personal opinion) I do believe that the Beltline represents a real, physical asset that will help values stay strong in the long term (assuming you don’t overpay).

Are you buying to house hack or rent out both sides.There are so many personal questions to answer, before you begin analyzing deals.Factors such as jobs, population, tenant laws, median income, affodability, crime, schools are all metrics to considerGood Luck!

@Jon DawesI personally prefer liquidity and flexibility and like you said so many variables which is why it's never clear-cut in personal finance.  

If you don't mind providing some data for me to reference I'd appreciate it, but understand if you want to keep some or all personal--namely I'd be interested in approximate location, bd/ba count of your property and the rent % increase (or if you're comfortable sharing actual prices) implemented between your last tenant and current one. 

I usually don’t post my personal business in here but RE has put me in a very good spot.
