Since we are just starting out and will just be approaching less-experienced friends and family for investment, we want to make sure we choose the structure that best suits the situation.We're aiming for a contract that is pretty much them lending us money without being able to get involved in our ground-level operations.

(I completed all the work)I've been managing another investment single family home for awhile now, so I know what it's like to be a landlord.I'm saving cash for my next realestate move, and this idea of an attached in-law suite keeps returning.

i see this as "there is no perfect option" - but the best one that suits you. in my area, SFH and MF aren't affordable enough for me to start out with. i find condos as a good starting option (seeing cap rates of 6+% etc.) for me, and i can build on investments from there.thanks ahead of time. i am sure i am misinformed in some ways and/or not understanding this appropriately.

I added a “master suite” to the attic with a bedroom and a full bath.

On the lender side you can close in an LLC or you can put it in an LLC after closing, that's a question for your CPA if an LLC or an S Corp is more suites, it's all about minimizing your tax bracket on the rental income.Do you need any advise in ragards to the financing?

Keep in mind there are some people that are only looking for reasons to file law suits and in some cases the fair housing police actually look to trap landlords by posing as renters.Some landlords may feel it is responsible to provide a reason to applicants however you must prioritise protecting yourself ahead of caring about how rejected applicants may feel. 

I did a specific performance suit last year took 3 years and 25k .. you think the guy is going to do that ???

If yours does, should be easy to get the suit dismissed.
